But there is an old mission around the Indiana football program: discovering how to make Hoosiers relevant in the Big Ten East again. After a surprising Top 25 finish in the shortened…

As we approach Week 8, Indiana football has lost four straight games and is hoping to take down Rutgers on October 22nd on their homecoming weekend in New Jersey.

The Hoosiers take on the Cornhuskers in a late Saturday night game on the Big Ten Network, as Indiana football looks to battle as road warriors and come out of their second Big Ten game of the season undefeated in conference play at 2-0.

Indiana began its season knowing that it had to take advantage of early opportunities, because once they got into October, and especially November, the Hoosiers would be facing opponents against whom they'd be sizable underdogs.

But those aspirations quickly went down hill before the end of non-conference play. Nebraska started its season with a 31-28 loss to…
