What a difference a week can make. Last week the Hoosiers were fresh off a blowout loss at Michigan and were projected as one of the first four teams out in Joe Lunardi’s bracketology. They had lost five of six games and were staring at a week that included a tough road game at Minnesota and a home matchup with top ten Penn State.
It looked like it could be more heartbreak for Hoosier fans as Indiana had struggled to win on the road and even though they were playing at home against the Nittany Lions, they were still an underdog.
