Indiana vs. Nebraska players to watch
Indiana: EDGE Tobi Osunsanmi
Tobi Osunsanmi has been a steady force up front to begin the season, and he put forth his best outing of the season in Week 5 against Rutgers. Osunsanmi was tied for the team lead with 7.0 tackles, which included a sack and a pair of tackles for loss. On the season, Osunsanmi leads the Big Ten in tackles for loss (8.5) and sacks (4.0). Looking to slow down a Nebraska offense that is averaging 43.6 points per game, Osunsanmi is undoubtedly a player to keep an eye on in this one.
Nebraska: QB Anthony Colandrea
Former 5-star QB recruit Dylan Raiola left Nebraska after two underwhelming seasons. Now Anthony Colandrea is leading the Husker offense. Colandrea is in his fourth season as a starter after spending time at both Virginia and UNLV, and is off to a strong start this season. Through five games, Colandrea has completed 65.7% of his passes for 1,142 yards and 13 touchdowns with just two interceptions. He's also been a threat in the running game, racking up 249 yards and two scores with his legs.
Indiana vs Nebraska score prediction
Nebraska has lost 30 consecutive games against ranked opponents, which includes an 0-9 record against Top-25 teams under Matt Rhule. The Huskers are riding high after a 5-0 start, and Memorial Stadium in Lincoln is sure to be rocking. But it's tough to see Indiana being out-played in this one. Cignetti-led teams get better and better as the season goes on, and Rhule has continuously struggled to come up with wins in these types of games. Nebraska might hang around, but Indiana pulls away with a 34-20 win.
