The Indiana Hoosiers setup their non-conference schedule with the clear objective of going 3-0 and getting halfway to bowl eligibility. IU took care of business with a comfortable victory over Florida International and Charlotte comes to town in a few weeks but the Western Illinois Leathernecks come calling on Friday night. The Hoosiers cannot afford to lose this game. Curt Cignetti will likely be able to rotate several players in and IU should have a goal of having the competitive portion of this contest over by halftime.
