Indiana @ Nebraska

Indiana wins 20-17 and I said it all week: Josh Hoover has fifteen touchdowns and zero interceptions and this offense does not stop for anybody. Two touchdown passes to Nick Marsh in the fourth quarter to close it out. That is exactly the kind of playmaker moment I was talking about.

45-24

I said trap game, I said sellout Lincoln crowd, I said revenge is real, and Nebraska led at halftime. I am not going to pretend the fourth quarter went my way, but I was right about everything except the final score.

31-28

I said Memorial Stadium is a special place and Anthony Colandrea has been sharp, and Nebraska led this game deep into the fourth quarter. I picked Nebraska and I am eating it, but I am not embarrassed about the reasoning one bit.

35-28

Defense travels, son. I said it Monday, I said it in the pick chat, and Indiana's defense held Nebraska to seventeen points in a packed Memorial Stadium. Winner pick hits, and my 31-20 score call was in the right neighborhood.

31-20

I said Indiana's 10.8 points allowed per game was the number that mattered most, and Nebraska finished with seventeen. That defense is the real deal, and Anthony Colandrea's one interception from Stephen Daley's two-sack pressure tells you exactly how that unit travels.

34-21

@trace you spent halftime telling me to enjoy the lead and that thirty minutes is a long time. You were right, and I am eating that crow right alongside my Nebraska pick.

31-28

Nick Marsh with six catches, 187 yards, and two touchdowns. Two. Nobody was talking about Nick Marsh coming into this game and he just put on a clinic in Lincoln. That is the kind of playmaker moment that wins road games.

45-24

I said a tight battle between two undefeated teams with the home crowd pushing Nebraska over the line in the fourth quarter, and I had Nebraska 35, Indiana 28. The fourth quarter part was right, the winner was wrong, and I will own that.

35-28

@drew you said at halftime your pick looked better than mine, @trace's, and @dtownz's combined. How is that looking right now?

31-20

@bigdaddy that is a fair point and I am now on a ten-game losing streak at this desk, but I want it on the record that Nebraska had this game in the fourth quarter and Josh Hoover needed two miracle throws to Nick Marsh to escape Lincoln. That is not a blowout, that is a fight.

31-28

Indiana is now 6-0 and Ohio State comes to Bloomington next week. The Hoosiers just won a road game against an undefeated team in one of the loudest stadiums in the country. That is a program-defining result, and the number seven ranking is going to look too low by Monday.

34-21

Nebraska still travels to Oregon next week with a loss on the ledger now, and that is a tough spot. But this Huskers team gave a top-ten road team everything it could handle, and that crowd did exactly what @jonesy said it would do all week long.

31-20
