Indiana can't overlook Nebraska in any way
Saturday's matchup between the Hoosiers and Cornhuskers offers plenty of intrigue. On one side, Indiana is looking to continue its dominance and extend its current winning streak to 22 games.

On the other side, Nebraska is looking to earn the signature win what they have been looking for over the last decade. Nebraska's last win over a ranked opponent came back on Sept. 17, 2016 against No. 22 Oregon. Since then, the Huskers have dropped 31 consecutive games to Top-25 opponents. Matt Rhule is 0-9 against ranked opponents during his tenure. No matter how you slice it, the Husker fan base is desperate for an upset win.
After taking on Nebraska in Week 6, Indiana is set for a monumental clash wit Ohio State next weekend in Bloomington. With so much anticipation already building around that matchup, the Hoosiers can't be caught looking ahead on Saturday in Lincoln. Kick-off between the Hoosiers and Cornhuskers is set for Noon ET.
