Remember first-place Northwestern? Remember top-20 Northwestern? Remember when we thought Northwestern might actually be g-g-g-g-good?
Those things happened, but they’re far in the past. Like, a month and a half in the past.

Nothing stupid could possibly happen to the Hoosiers in this game, right? Right. Well, probably not. We think. Actually, wait.
