Indiana dropped to 3-6 after defeating Wisconsin in Bloomington by six, 20-14. The Hoosiers held onto a slim halftime lead to snap a four-game skid, and they’ll now look to win consecutive games for the first time this season.

IU Player Notes
Brendan Sorsby quarterbacked a solid game last week, going 19/31 for 186 yards and a score. The Denton native managed to toss three touchdowns on the road against Penn State, so he may be ready for this matchup here on the road. Sorsby has thrown for 875 yards with seven touchdowns to one interception through seven games.
Wake transfer Christian Turner has reached the 60-yes mark in back-to-back contests, and he’s up to 177 rushing yards on 40 carries.

Corey’s Free Pick
Illinois and Indiana find themselves hanging in the bottom half of the Big Ten, but after both pulling off solid conference wins last week, we should be in for a good game here. I like Bret Bielema’s team in this spot at home, as the Hoosiers have struggled offensively all season, and the Illini should be able to capitalize on that. While I like Illinois pulling this one out at home, this could wind up being a low-scoring battle, and the Under may just bring more security here.
