Week Nine Preview: Nebraska Cornhuskers

The Big Ten schedule makers did not do Indiana any favors as the back third of the schedule begins with road trips to Maryland and then out west to Nebraska. That’s over 1,200 miles of travel for the Hoosiers in the span of a week. We pinned the game at Maryland as a swing game and to turn around and head to Nebraska, who many have winning the Big Ten West, is going to push IU to the limit physically and mentally. The Hoosiers last played Nebraska in 2016, but have not played in Lincoln since 1977. The Hoosiers lead the series with Nebraska 9-8-3 with IU’s last win coming in Lincoln in 1959.
