My FINAL THOUGHTS as Indiana Football Prepares to Face Nebraska TODAY | Hoosiers Biggest Game SO FAR

Is Indiana Football walking into a TRAP GAME against Nebraska?!

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers face their biggest test of the 2026 college football season as they travel to Lincoln for Big Noon Kickoff against Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

On this special game-day bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins joins Spencer McLaughlin of Locked On College Football to debate whether Nebraska can make things uncomfortable for Indiana.

Spencer believes the undefeated Cornhuskers could push Indiana into a close game because of their home-field advantage, Anthony Colandrea's scrambling ability, and the Hoosiers' looming showdown with Ohio State. Jacob pushes back, explaining why Indiana's depth, discipline, physicality, and improved play against Rutgers give the Hoosiers the advantage.

Can Josh Hoover handle Nebraska's hostile environment? Will Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. continue to dominate on the ground? Can Bryant Haines and Indiana's defense contain Calandria? And will Curt Cignetti's team make the necessary adjustments to pull away?

Jacob and Spencer give their final Indiana vs. Nebraska score predictions!

PLUS: Jacob makes his picks for the rest of the Big Ten schedule, including a bold UCLA vs. Oregon upset prediction, USC vs. Penn State, Illinois vs. Michigan State, Minnesota vs. Purdue, and Ohio State vs. Maryland.
