Hoosiers Roast Rutgers: One Win to Go

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

Despite a lengthy weather delay that prolonged the contest by more than 90 minutes, Indiana's fans, coaches and players will be more than happy as they dominated Rutgers 41-0 and moved within one win of bowl eligibility. IU has now won back to back Big Ten games and this victory came in authoritative fashion. The Hoosiers ran for 267 yards and put up 503 yards of offense compared to the Scarlet Knights' 186.

Matchup to Watch: Indiana Hoosiers vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Written By Alex Compton

IU is back in the win column! After an ugly, yet solid win on the road, IU still has their hopes for a third straight bowl game alive. Richard Lagow has now started two consecutive games, and the job looks to be- and should be his until the season comes to a close, bowl game or not. I, for one, think it is the best move for IU this season, and this is something that the writers at HoosierHuddle felt was needed to possibly save Indiana’s season. Since being reinserted after Peyton Ramsey’s injury at Maryland, 21 has been exceptional for IU. He nearly pulled off the win against the Terps, and then followed that up with solid performances against Wisconsin and Illinois. On the other side of the field this week is an interesting Rutgers team, that actually has flown under the radar for most of the year. They rattled off three straight Big Ten wins before losing to Penn State last weekend, and if they didn’t collapse against Eastern Michigan, they would be sitting at 5 wins and just 1 away from a bowl game. Nonetheless, they are led by their defense, and that is what my matchup this week is centered on.

Indiana Hoosiers to Honor 1968 Rose Bowl Team on Saturday

Written By Evan McShane (@veryreasonable)

The Indiana Hoosiers’ 1968 Rose Bowl team will be honored and recognized by the university during this Saturday’s game in Bloomington against Rutgers. 50 years ago, Indiana’s football team earned themselves a trip to the 54th annual Rose Bowl game against the USC Trojans. Back then, the Hoosiers referred to Memorial Stadium as Seventeenth Street Football Stadium. Not much else was different regarding Indiana football. This accomplishment was just as miraculous as it would be if it were to happen today. IU football was in a very undesirable position in the mid-1960’s, and the Big Ten’s powerhouse teams we know today were still prominent at the time. To understand how impressive this Hoosier team was, some context and a history lesson is required.

After a Win Against Illinois, Indiana is Hungry For Must Win Number Two Against Rutgers

The Indiana Hoosiers entered last Saturday’s contest in Champaign knowing they had to win three straight contests in order to reach a third straight bowl game. While the performance wasn’t always pretty, IU did more than enough to accomplish the first part of their task as they downed the Illini in somewhat comfortable fashion. This week, they return to Bloomington for Senior Day, and the second must win game of their season.
