Hoosier Huddle's College Football Playoff and Bowl Projections-October 27

In many ways, Saturday’s win over Washington felt like a celebration. ESPN’s College GameDay was in Bloomington and fans and former players celebrated Lee Corso and the 1979 Holiday Bowl squad.

Longtime and long-suffering fans celebrated weeks of football that have brought so much joy after many, many years of crushing disappointment.

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? After a 60-minute beatdown of the previously 5-1 Nebraska Cornhuskers and a 56-7 win for Indiana, the answer ringing out from a sold-out Memorial Stadium was a resounding “YES!” There was a negative from the impressive victory though. Kurtis Rourke injured his thumb in the first half and stood in street clothes during the second half as Tayven Jackson finished the job at quarterback.

Opponent: Penn State Nittany Lions

Location: Saturday, October 24, 2020

What The Game Meant: In a short season with no non-conference games, a win could propel either team to a special season. For the Hoosiers, the win is the first time they beat a top-10 team since 1987 and the first time at home doing that since 1967. Tom Allen checked boxes last season and just checked a big one off the list on Saturday.
