Coming the game here it will actually be a good game between a couple of high powered Big Ten teams. The Hoosiers, though, are bringing back more starters and with that being the case Indiana will come into the game here with the advantage. Look for the Hoosiers to be able to pull out the win in the game here as the Hawkeyes are playing good, but not gelled fully as a team. Final Score Prediction, Indiana Hoosiers win, but grab the points 24-14.
