The Indiana Hoosiers have a challenge on Saturday night in Bloomington when the Northwestern Wildcats come to town for the first November night game in Memorial Stadium history. The challenge comes in two forms. The first challenge is how Indiana will handle their success. the Hoosiers are sitting at 6-2 (3-2) and have gotten the sweet taste of success and all the attention that comes with it. While Tom Allen and his staff have done a great job keeping this team focused on the bigger picture. Allen has stressed that there are bigger goals than just a sixth win and qualifying for a bowl.
