NEBRASKA (5-1) vs #16 INDIANA (6-0) – Two Streaks Will Fall!: HOW TO WATCH

Ty Robinson stuck around for an extra year because he wanted to be remembered as a contributing part of the Huskers turnaround.

Dylan Raiola turned his back on Ohio State, and then the Georgia Bulldogs, because he wanted his legacy to be about more than joining a perennial CFP program. Rather, he holds a quiet belief he is a generational talent and wanted to use that talent to help return his father’s alma mater to its perch among the nation’s elite.

The former is a 23-year old 6th year senior and the latter is a 19-year-old true freshman who had not yet begun high school when Robinson stepped on campus. Yet at very different points in their college careers, both can take huge steps in the directions of their goals this Saturday when The Huskers travel to Indiana for the first of two straight Big Noon matchups on Fox.

The Blackshirts will face an Indiana offense which has scored at least 41 points in every game. Not a single one of their playmakers wore an Indiana uni before this season coming from Ohio, Wake Forest and James Madison (3), new head coach Curt Cignetti’s former team. The Hoosiers are undefeated and tied for the B1G lead, however this is an “are they for real?” game as their schedule thus far is ranked 115th out of 133 FBS teams.

The Huskers offense and defense will be the best Indiana has faced thus far this season. Will it be enough to keep their record spotless or will the Huskers finish the day with a 25-game losing streak to ranked teams and an 8-year bowl drought things of the past?

Will it come down to (gulp) special teams? (Pour – stir – swig)

Buckle up, Sally. Brunch is gonna be stressful tomorrow.
