Throughout the entire season, people have doubted the Hoosiers’ ability to compete in big games and that doubt grew after an underwhelming performance against Ohio State.

The Indiana Hoosiers have been the fairy tale team all season as they earned their way to their first playoff berth in school history and first 11-win season in school history. It is kind of all unbelievable. The kind of stuff you only see in movies. For the players and coaches at IU, there was belief that they could go as far as they wanted to back in fall camp.

All of the hype was in Bloomington for Saturday as ESPN’s College GameDay was in town for their pregame show. IU showed that it could still compete with a good Washington team with a backup quarterback.

The Indiana Hoosiers improved to 7-0 with a walloping of the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday. Memorial Stadium was sold out (and is now sold out for the rest of the season!) and FOX’s Big Noon crew was in the house. The table was set and then the Hoosiers feasted. The only negative was a thumb injury to starting quarterback Kurtis Rourke that will sideline him for at least one game and likely ends a budding Heisman Trophy campaign. That injury sets up an easy pick for matchup to watch as Tayven Jackson taking center stage as the starting quarterback with ESPN’s College Gameday in Bloomington. However, the focus for this article will be on an aspect of the game that will go a long way towards setting Tayven Jackson up for success: IU’s running game against Washington’s defense.

Some people didn’t believe that Nebraska’s defense would be too difficult for Indiana to handle, which was the complete opposite of what happened. Indiana’s running backs took control of the game with the help of this stellar offensive line.

It’s no mystery that Indiana has been great at running the ball so far this season. The Hoosiers lead the Big Ten and Power Four schools in rushing touchdowns with 23 total and that can be credited to the dynamic group of running backs in Bloomington. It can be difficult sharing the spotlight, especially as a running back, but their unselfish mindset has helped them in achieving success so far.
Read MoreNothing gets Big Ten football fans excited like great offensive line play. For the past 100 years, the offensive philosophy throughout the conference has been “three yards and a cloud of dust.” Physicality in the trenches is especially important in the Red Zone, where the field shortens and safeties can begin to creep down and commit to the run.
