Top Five Quarterbacks Indiana Will Play in 2017

Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

As we march through the summer and into fall camp, Hoosier Huddle will look at the top five opposing players or position groups they will face in 2017. Only players and position groups from teams on the 2017 IU Football schedule are considered.

Today, we start with the Top Five Opposing Quarterbacks. The Big Ten has plenty of great quarterbacks returning in 2016 that we will not cover. Players like Clayton Thorson of Northwestern, Tanner Lee of Nebraska, Conner Roda of Minnesota, and Nathan Stanley of Iowa are not on Indiana’s 2017 schedule.

Indiana does play against quarterbacks who are widely considered on every All-Conference list, the conference’s leading passer, and a couple potential Heisman trophy candidates, so the quality of opposing quarterbacks is pretty solid.

Hoosiers and Wildcats Clash in Pivotal Swing Game

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

The Indiana Hoosiers and Northwestern Wildcats both enter Saturday’s contest at 3-3 but their seasons aren’t mirror images. In fact, the similarities probably end at their records. The Hoosiers have lost their past two games after beginning the season 3-1 while the Wildcats have won their past two after opening at 1-3. IU has relied on a surprisingly stingy defense to keep them in games this season while the Wildcats have gotten a major boost from a suddenly explosive offense during their current two-game winning streak. Indiana and Northwestern have taken differing routes to get to .500 at the midway point of the season but they enter Saturday’s contest in the same place, looking for a victory that can vault them towards postseason eligibility. Kevin Wilson met with the media on Monday and he’s been impressed with Northwestern during their recent two-game road winning streak.
