A possibility for eight wins would be massive for Indiana Football. That’s not hard to grasp. The last time the Hoosiers had eight wins was in 1993. Indiana has that chance right in front of them on Saturday against the no. 12 Michigan Wolverines. This will be an extremely important game for Indiana, not only just for this season, but for the entire history of Indiana Football. What Tom Allen has built will put Indiana on the map for years to come, especially if the Hoosiers win eight or even nine games this season.

The #24 Indiana Hoosiers are 7-2 in an absolute heater of a year. Indiana’s season has been one to remember, especially in the wake of Mike Penix’s unfortunate progression through the season. A few games missed here, a few there, and finally out for the season is the epitome of brutality for a young talent fresh off his first missed season. Former QB1 for Indiana, Peyton Ramsey, stepped in when needed and balled out. Ramsey is now QB1 for the rest of the season for a really talented bowl eligible team. This Hoosier team hasn't subscribed to "what should've happened" after Penix went down. They've excelled.

The Indiana Hoosiers have a challenge on Saturday night in Bloomington when the Northwestern Wildcats come to town for the first November night game in Memorial Stadium history. The challenge comes in two forms. The first challenge is how Indiana will handle their success. the Hoosiers are sitting at 6-2 (3-2) and have gotten the sweet taste of success and all the attention that comes with it. While Tom Allen and his staff have done a great job keeping this team focused on the bigger picture. Allen has stressed that there are bigger goals than just a sixth win and qualifying for a bowl.

Sure, there were flaws.
In just one minute and 28 seconds, the defense had let backup quarterback Noah Vedral and the Cornhusker offense drive the length of the field and put up an opening drive touchdown. The very next drive, Vedral did the same thing.
In barely over three minutes of possession and 10 plays, the Indiana defense had already allowed 14 points to a Husker offense that had scored 27 combined in its last three games.
There’s no doubt, that’s a flaw.
