Can Indiana Make a Statement?

It’s been a perfect start to the season for Indiana but the chatter is still about how they haven’t played anyone so far this season. Even though it’s a perfect record, they were tested last week and ended up beating Michigan by only five points. The offense only managed 20 points and that led to the game being close. Quarterback Kurtis Rouke completed 17 of his 28 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Ty Son Lawton was the top player on the ground rushing 12 times for 55 yards. The Hoosiers overall this season are averaging 43.9 points while the defense is giving up 13.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd in the league while the defense is ranked 7th. In this game if they want a chance the defense is going to need to play really well. Indiana will meet Purdue next week.
