Opponent: Florida International Golden Panthers

Location: Saturday September  12th   /8:12pm/ Memorial Stadium/ (Bloomington, IN) 

Why They Played:  Indiana paid $1 million dollars to get this game switched to FIU from USF in order to bolster the number of home games IU was playing. Wilson did not want to play just six home games again.

What The Game Meant

Indiana had to play improved football on defense to win the game and start a season 2-0 for the first time since 2012. A loss here would probably doom the season after last week’s performance against Southern Illinois.
