Let me start this off with saying no article, no 280-character tweet, no Facebook status and no highlight reel will really show what kind of special talent Jordan Jusevitch is. My job is to try though and trust me, this kid is one of the good ones on and off the field.

It’s Bucket Week and for the third-straight year Indiana can clinch a bowl berth with a win over their in-state rivals, the Purdue Boilermakers.

The annual Old Oaken Bucket Game is always a big deal in the state of Indiana. It’s important for bragging rights, recruiting and program momentum. There is no denying that this year’s clash, the 120th meeting of the Bucket game, between the two 5-6 rivals looms even larger than usual. Indiana is going for their fifth straight victory in the series and this is the first meeting between program leaders Tom Allen and Jeff Brohm. Perhaps most importantly, both teams need a win to reach bowl eligibility and earn themselves a postseason berth and all the perks that come with it.

As of November 20, 2017
After a very successful first year of doing bowl projections, we are back at it in 2017 to project each bowl matchup involving a Big Ten team. Most importantly, we’ll be projecting where we believe the Indiana Hoosiers will end up. Keep in mind, these are projections and it’s my best guess as to where teams end up at the end of the season, not where they might go if bowls were selected today.
With only one regular season slate of games remaining, there are a number of intriguing possibilities. This is my best guess as to how things will play out.
