Indiana Football Hasn't Faced ANYONE Like This Yet... Hoosiers Need to be READY

Indiana Football opens Big Ten play Friday night against Northwestern, and Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers are about to face their toughest test of the season so far.

Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles presents a challenge Indiana hasn't seen through its first three games. After a five-touchdown performance against Colorado, Chiles and the Wildcats arrive in Bloomington with confidence — and Indiana's defense will need its sharpest performance yet.

Jacob Goins breaks down why containing Chiles will be critical, what Indiana needs to prove defensively, and why Friday night's matchup could tell us much more about the Hoosiers.

Plus, ESPN ranked Indiana No. 3 among the remaining undefeated teams in college football, but there is one major thing missing from IU's résumé. And Indiana's tight end room continues to be a concern entering Big Ten play after producing just one reception through three games.
