They’re currently taking Colorado apart; up 38-7 with about 11 minutes left in the 4th, so, barring a complete meltdown, they should win going away… Looks like they could cause us some problems… Glad we have them at Home…
Here’s a few tidbits I’ve tripped over on that interweb thingy to give us some food for thought… :

#9 in the secondary just limped off having tweaked an ankle or a knee (in the 4th qtr).
Here’s a thumbnail view of what a Colorado sportswriter thought of them:
Here’s some betting site’s (I think) version of a scouting report:
It’s a Friday night game so I’ve taken it upon myself to cut the enjoy the Win timeline down from 24 hours to about 24 minutes… Hopefully most of our TEAM is watching that Colorado game. 😎
The line is 23.5 right now. Seems pretty big given some of the underwhelming aspects of our non-con games, but that's what the bettors think, which is good.
I am very high on NW this year. I like their team and it was a big deal when their center Carsillo, was ruled eligible for the year. This should be a solid test to staart Big Ten play, especially on a short week.
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
3+ TD'S sounds about right. Little more playbook reveal and possibility of Daley/Wyatt adding to a gelling DL are betting intangibles. DB'S are synching up starting with run support. Do worry about NW QB. He is quality. But the bottom line is NoTackle Sanders has his team imploding. NW stepped on a grape.
The box score for Buffs-Wildcats was shockingly even for a 34-pt game. NU was +3 in turnovers and had a massive possession advantage, but yards were relatively even. Didn't see any of it, so not sure if there was some weirdness that doesn't show in the stats.
It would be interesting to frame up a question to ask Cig on Monday that gets him talking about Chiles facing an Indiana defense a third time in his career and the impact of hard hat Village Person OC Chip Kelly who beat Indiana in his last try.
