After a two-game road trip, Northwestern (3-3, 2-1 B1G) returns to Ryan Field for the first time in nearly one month to face Indiana (3-3, 1-2 B1G) in a crucial midseason matchup for both squads.
Northwestern is trending up after impressive wins over Iowa and Michigan State, while the Hoosiers ride a two-game losing streak into Evanston, with the losses to Ohio State and Nebraska.
With Ohio State on the horizon for the Wildcats, it is crucial for the hosts to take care of business in front of the homecoming crowd. The Wildcats are just 1-3 at home this year but will take to the Ryan Field turf a completely different team than when it last left it after a 24-13 loss to Nebraska.
