Is an upset on the way on Friday night in South Bend? That's what Indiana Hoosiers football fans are hoping for, as a showdown with Notre Dame has arrived. Virtually every big-name analyst has picked the Fighting Irish to post a win.
However, not everyone is ready to stop believing in the Curt Cignetti magic that has been posted in 2024. That's right, live on College GameDay, the one and only Pat McAfee passionately picked the Hoosiers to post one of the biggest upsets in program history. Will they get the job done and prove McAfee right?
INDIANA HAS BEEN A BASKETBALL SCHOOL FOR SO LONG..

Pat McAfee picking Indiana to stun Notre Dame was downright awesome
McAfee has been known for his passionate calls this season and he really didn't hold back there. Unfortunately, as of this writing, the Hoosiers just gave up a 98-yard touchdown run to Jeremiyah Love. Hey, it's still early, though.
Cignetti has done a remarkable job with this team in 2024 and the Hoosiers are ready to prove to many of their doubters wrong. In order for that to happen, stud quarterback Kurtis Rourke is going to have to be at his best to make the ND defense look rough.
On the season, Indiana only lost one game, falling to Ohio State in head-turning fashion at The Shoe. Plenty of people were calling for the Hoosiers to be kicked out of the College Football Playoff completely, but that was never going to happen. Indiana wants to silence all the doubters and take care of business vs. Marcus Freeman and Co. Soon enough, we'll see if this team was able to prove McAfee right or not.
