Let us be fair, Indiana. It was fun, you got your six wins, and now it is basketball season, so…
It is possible that this will go on for a very long time.
They could go 9-0 if they beat the Huskers. Their next game is at home against Washington, and then they go on the road to play Michigan State.
After beating Nebraska, they will play Michigan and Ohio State. For now, they are 7-0, which is the first time since 1967. They went 8-0 at the start and made it to the Rose Bowl.
Nebraska bounced back from its loss to Illinois with a proper win over Purdue and a 14–7 win over Rutgers that was better than it will ever be given credit for.
The Huskers had two weeks off, so they should be ready for this first of three road games in a row. The next two are against Ohio State and USC, which are spaced a few weeks apart.

Why Nebraska Will Win
The offensive line for Indiana has done a great job of protecting the pass, but they have not played anyone who can really heat things up yet.
The Huskers need to start pressing the quarterback.
They have nine sacks and nine tackles for loss in each of their last two games after failing to get into the backfield enough in the loss to Illinois. This has turned up the pressure a notch (No. 1 in the Big Ten in both categories).
Indiana has been great and works well enough to keep things interesting, but it has not played a team that is sure to make it to a bowl game yet. Nebraska is by far the best team they have played so far, but…
Why Indiana Will Win
They beat a great team called… Colorado?
At this point, beating Indiana is hard because you need to be almost perfect. The team does not have more ability than anyone else, but it is playing well, there is talent, and the team is not making any mistakes.
Kurtis Rourke is making the throws that are there, there are not many fouls, and the offense has only turned the ball over four times.
Take over the time, make tackles, and win third downs. IU is the best team in the Big Ten at converting third downs. It looks so simple, but the Hoosiers are doing all of that game in and game out. And…
Nebraska vs Indiana: Who Will Win
But Nebraska is tied with Indiana for the fewest turnovers in the league. The team has a lot of problems with penalties and their special teams have had some problems.
The Huskers will play well the whole game, but the Hoosiers will be too good at home. In the second half, IU will have a ten-minute run that makes it all happen.
