Week 4:

Week 4 brings on challenge number one for Indiana football, as they travel to take on last seasons CFP participant, Cincinnati, in the Hoosiers first road game of 2022. Cincinnati is starting off the 2022 season ranked #23 and will face off against a top-25 opponent, Arkansas, then two underwhelming opponents in Kennesaw State and Miami (Ohio). Facing Indiana football at home will be seemingly less stressful for the Bearcats as the Hoosiers were beating then-ranked #8 Cincinnati in Bloomington in 2021, 14-10 at halftime, before the Bearcats pulled away. Expect a competitive Hoosier team to come out strong, but Cincinnati will likely prevail over Indiana in Week 4.

INDIANA 24 – CINCINNATI 34 (3-1, 1-0)


Week 5:

Indiana football will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska for the Hoosiers first Big Ten road game of the season, and hopefully the Hoosiers can be road warriors and take down Scott Frost’s team, as this is supposed to be another confusing season for the Cornhuskers. Nebraska started the season in Week 0 with a loss to Northwestern, which was one of those disaster games for Cornhusker fans. Traveling and competing on the road against any Big Ten football opponent is a tough task, but Indiana football should be able to hang tight and make this a big road win heading into a tough stretch of games.
