How Both Teams Got Here
Indiana is 2-0 and has not allowed a team to stay with it: 52-16 over North Texas and 55-0 over Howard. The Hoosiers are ranked fourth and have outscored two opponents 107-16.
Western Kentucky is 0-2 and both losses came on the road, including a 70-20 defeat at No. 2 Georgia in Week 2. The Hilltoppers have not played at home yet this season.
What to Watch
Whether Indiana treats this like the tune up it is. The Hoosiers have a Big Ten schedule waiting and no reason to keep starters in beyond the third quarter, so the story of the afternoon is how fast the lead gets built.
Western Kentucky gave up 70 points to Georgia two weeks ago and Indiana’s offense has been comparably efficient against lesser opposition. The Hilltoppers need to shorten the game and avoid the early turnovers that turned the Georgia trip into a rout.
