Indiana is trying to bounce this week after two straight losses against Penn State and Michigan. They will try to do that against their hated rival in the Purdue Boilermakers. In beating Purdue the Hoosiers would get to eight wins for the first time since 1993.
While at the beginning of the year eight wins would have seemed great, because of their last two losses the Hoosiers have to be feeling a bit of a letdown. They laid an egg against Michigan, but they had their chances to win in Happy Valley against Penn State.
Injuries have hurt the Hoosiers lately, especially against Michigan as they were without star receiver Whop Philyor and lost Stevie Scott III and Ty Fryfogle for parts of the game.
