Game Prediction:
Dan Lanning and the Ducks have not lost a home game since 2022. Will the Indiana Hoosiers be able to snap the nation's longest home winning streak?
Indiana versus Oregon is going to show me where exactly both teams are when it comes to covering up there weaknesses. Oregon's secondary will get test early and often but the RPO heavy offense of Indiana. The wide reciever room at Indiana will expose the shaky secondary of Oregon. Mendoza and the boys will put up points but they have their own weaknesses as well.
Up front Indiana will get bullied by Oregon, the Ducks are deeper, more talented and flat out going to push Indiana around up front but it just depends what they do with the opportunities. Dante Moore and his weapons may be too much to handle for the Hoosiers on Saturday afternoon.
I believe Indiana keeps it close and makes a statement early but Oregon wins this game at home and Dante Moore makes his name a household one after this performance. Oregon 34, Indiana 27.
