Welcome to the last week of 2020, No. 7 Hoosiers fans! Although it wasn’t the NY6 bowl they very clearly earned, the Hoosiers are headed to the Outback Bowl on January 2nd. In five short days, your Big Ten Coach of the Year, Tom Allen and the Hoosiers are set to face Ole Miss in Tampa at 12:30 ET. We’ll keep you updated daily on news regarding Ole Miss and the Outback Bowl as we keep a close eye on the matchup.
