Ohio State at Indiana

Indiana arrives in Lincoln at 6-0 and ranked seventh in the country. That puts the Hoosiers in unfamiliar territory, playing with a target on their backs. Nebraska is 5-1 and gets the visit at home, where a win over a top-10 opponent would change how the rest of the league sees the Huskers. Kickoff is set for noon ET Saturday, Oct. 17, at Memorial Stadium, with the game on Fox.

The stakes are simple. Indiana has done everything asked of it through six weeks, and a road trip to one of the Big Ten's loudest stadiums is the kind of test that separates a strong start from a serious contender. For Nebraska, one loss leaves plenty of room to climb, but the margin for error narrows quickly in conference play. Beating an unbeaten, ranked visitor would be the clearest statement the Huskers could make this season.

The matchup hinges on whether Indiana can carry its form into a hostile setting for a midday start, and whether Nebraska can use the home crowd to turn this into a close game late. Teams that have not yet lost tend to be tested most on the road, and this is Indiana's chance to show its record holds up away from home. No players were listed on the board for this game, so the focus here stays on the teams.

Indiana's ranking and perfect record make the Hoosiers the more established side on paper. However, a verified spread and total for this specific matchup were not available at publication. The market figure supplied this week referred to a different team and did not match this game, so it has been left out rather than reported inaccurately.
