The Indiana Hoosiers have been one of the most surprising teams in the Big Ten so far in 2024.

They are 6-0 for the first time since 1967 and today they welcome the 5-1 Nebraska Cornhuskers to a crazy Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. It will be a big game for two teams trying to keep pace in the Big Ten championship race. The Huskers have lost one conference game to Illinois, while the Hoosiers remain flawless in conference play.

Transfer quarterback Kurtis Rourke is a Heisman candidate and was one of the best quarterbacks in the country for the Hoosiers. On the other hand, Dylan Raiola was impressive as a true freshman who started all season for the Huskers. He has led an offense that has struggled to put up eye-catching numbers, but he has avoided catastrophic mistakes that could cost his team games.

The Hoosiers offense against the Huskers defense will be the game to watch in this game. No defense has been able to slow Rourke and the Hoosiers this season, but the Huskers have had one of the best defensive units in the Big Ten for 2024. Nebraska wins games on defense and controlling the clock on offense will be a tough task against an offense of this caliber.

For the Huskers to win this game, it will take a performance from Raiola that hasn’t been seen since his early games against lesser competition. If he can keep pace with Rourke, this could be the Huskers’ biggest win of the season.
