Can Indiana's dream run continue, or will Nebraska bring them back to reality this Saturday?

CFB is a surprising place! The Indiana football team has already surpassed all expectations this season. They are 6-0 for the first time since 1967. Furthermore, they are ranked No. 16 for the first time since 2020, which marks their first appearance in the AP poll Top 25. See if Indiana can continue their winning streak on Saturday against a major league team like the Cornhuskers is what attracts fans to the game. But how can one watch Indiana vs. Nebraska’s 23rd meeting?

The game will be televised by Fox at 11:00 a.m. CT. However, the final encounter between these two teams took place in 2022, with Nebraska defeating Indiana 35–21. Nevertheless, Indiana presently leads the series 10-9-3. Thus, it’s clear that this is an impressive matchup. That day, Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt call the game. And, for even more soul-stirring detail, Jenny Taft will cover the sidelines.

Klatt has gained recognition for his college football commentary and analysis. You can see his name on social media one day after the other if you closely monitor CFB. Klatt’s skill stems from his time playing quarterback. Yes, Klatt played collegiate football with the CU Buffs. He became the first quarterback in Colorado history to start three straight seasons, following Kordell Stewart. He also played minor-league baseball for two seasons. Following that, in the fall of 2006, Klatt had his first experience in broadcasting when he stood in as an analyst for FSN Rocky Mountain. Presently, he is an analyst and color commentator for Fox Sports.

Detailed breakdown of Indiana vs Nebraska

What’s your perspective on:

Can Indiana's dream run continue, or will Nebraska bring them back to reality this Saturday?

Have an interesting take?

It’s the Hoosiers’ best start since 1967. After being 6-0 during head coach Curt’s first season, Indiana is currently tied for top place in the Big10 standings with Oregon and Penn State. Nebraska is probably the toughest team Indiana has played so far, with a 5-1 record.

Despite that, the Cornhuskers, led by head coach Matt Rhule in his second season, have recently won back-to-back games against Rutgers and Purdue. But as per the season record, the most formidable obstacle for Rhule in the Hoosiers game will come from the offensive line that head coach Curt Cignetti has revitalized at Indiana. After six straight victories, this will be the first real test for Curt and Co., and they won’t give it to Rhule lightly.

According to analysts, Indiana is a 6.5-point favorite over Nebraska. But remember, this is college football, friends. Teams like Alabama have struggled against opponents who aren’t ranked. So, anything can happen on Saturday. Let’s see how things go in reverse.
