Terry Jones Jr. Has Breakout Game Against Nebraska

Hoosier Huddle's College Football Playoff and Bowl Projections - October 20

Hoosier Huddle's College Football Playoff and Bowl Projections - October 20

Written by T.J. Inman

FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff was in town to see the 6-0 Indiana Hoosiers and the nation was curious: who are these Indiana Hoosiers and are they for real?

The fact of the matter is the game Indiana played against Cincinnati last weekend would have been sufficient to take down Nebraska. The Hoosiers played a decently consistent level of football against the Bearcats, certainly, but can that consistent level of play be held throughout a grueling Big Ten schedule? They’d sure hope so. Today, we’re taking a look at a few keys to victory over Indiana’s upcoming Big Ten foe, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
