What’s at Stake: The primary goal for IU football beginning every season is to make a bowl game. That requires six victories and a win on Saturday over Charlotte would move the Hoosiers just two wins shy of becoming eligible for the postseason.

Matchup to Watch: Week Four Charlotte 49ers: Can Third Down Excellence Continue?

Written by: TJ Inman 

The Indiana Hoosiers are 3-0 and it is difficult for the most jaded of fans to find too many negatives from the first quarter of Curt Cignetti’s inaugural season. Indiana has a dominant conference road win, they are winning by an average score of 50 to 7.7, they have 81 first downs to only 37, the Hoosiers are averaging 7.92 yards per play and are only giving up 3.36 yards per play. The impressive list could go on. Is it possible that all three of IU’s opponents are headed for losing seasons? Yes. Does that take the shine away from the 3-0 start? Not in my opinion.
