Indiana Hoosiers Analysis

A strong start for Indiana put them in the lead against Michigan, but the Hoosiers were not able to keep up and Michigan proceeded to win the game.

Power Ranking of 125 #113 for Offense (20.80 Points per Game) #64 for Defense (24.40 Points per Game) Overall Record of 2-4 (3-3 ATS) Last 3 Matchups with Rutgers went 1-2 (1-2 ATS)

Indiana Football Struggles as Rutgers Looks to Extend Streak

Indiana has experienced a disappointing season, with victories over FCS program Indiana State, and a narrow two-point win over Akron, who they were unable to cover the line as 16.5-point favorites. Their passing game is lacking, along with a bottom 20 FBS run offense. The status of Turner and Henderson is uncertain, as they've missed the last three games. Rutgers has the advantage of a ground attack that features Monangai, playing against an Indiana defense that yields 4.6 yards per carry and 11 scores on the ground. The Scarlet Knights appear to hold the upper hand in both offensive and defensive play, and are likely to secure the win.
