Week Twelve Preview: Penn State Nittany Lions
The Hoosiers open the final quarter of the season with a road trip to Happy Valley to face the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State will be very young in 2019, but by November they should be all grown up. Indiana has never beaten Penn State in Beaver Stadium and for the Nittany Lions this becomes a game they must win if they want to compete for the division crown. Prior to playing Indiana, Penn State will be coming off of road trips to Michigan State and Minnesota. After the Hoosiers’ visit, Penn State will travel to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. For the Hoosiers this is the second game of a tough November that includes home dates with Northwestern and Michigan and the regular season finale at Purdue.

In week eight the Hoosiers will welcome in another beast from the east in the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State has dominated the series with a 20-1 record, Indiana’s lone win (44-24) came in 2013 in Bloomington. Last year saw the Hoosiers lose in Happy Valley 45-14, but the last time to Bloomington in 2016 the Hoosiers were a tough out, losing 45-31. This will close out a two-game homestand in the month of October. Here is what the Hoosiers could see in Week 8.
2017 First Glance: Week Five Penn State Nittany Lions
Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)
Indiana heads to Happy Valley in week five to face the defending Big Ten Champs, the Penn State Nittany Lions. IU has beaten Penn State just once in their history, a 44-24 win in Bloomington in 2013. The Nittany Lions return the best quarterback-running back combination in the Big Ten, a pretty good tight end as well as some playmakers on defense. This will be Penn State’s homecoming game and they’ll be sporting their retro jerseys. The Big Ten East is really rough, but this may be the toughest game on IU’s schedule in 2017.

Know Your Opponent: Missouri Tigers
Alright so the Hoosiers got back on track with a big week three win over Bowling Green. Sure the Hoosier “faithful” are not as invested as if they were undefeated heading into this game as many of us had predicted.
No matter though, the lights will bright on Saturday night as Indiana hosts the Missouri Tigers. It is the only Big Ten-SEC regular season matchup for the 2013 season, so conference bragging rights are on the line to some extent.
The Tigers are undefeated, but they have played just two games so far in 2013. This is a team that is very similar to the Hoosiers as they have an explosive offense and a defense that is not very stout. That being said, if the units were drafted before the game the Hoosier offense would go first, while their defense last.
With this being Mizzou’s first marquee game of the season, it is unlikely you have had your eyes glued on their play. But don’t worry, we will catch you up so that you can out smart all your friends at the bars and tailgates on Saturday night.
Find out everything that you need to know about the Hoosiers’ week four opponent, the Missouri Tigers right here.
