Indiana Hoosiers Must Do These Things To Win On Friday

Indiana Football opens Big Ten play Friday night against Northwestern, and one matchup could determine everything.

The Hoosiers have found success running the football with Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr., while Northwestern enters the matchup relying heavily on its own rushing attack. Jacob Goins explains why the battle on the ground could create a major advantage for Curt Cignetti and Indiana — and why Josh Hoover shouldn't need to carry the offense for the Hoosiers to win.

Plus, we take a closer look at Indiana's injury situation entering conference play, including AJ Harris, Khobie Martin and other Hoosiers working their way back. Then we look around the Big Ten at the biggest games on this weekend's schedule, including Iowa-Michigan, Oregon-USC and more.

Can Indiana take advantage of the matchup and start Big Ten play with a win?
