Indiana looks like a team that believes it can get back to a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Northwestern looks poorly coached and disinterested.
The Hoosiers have jumped all over Northwestern in Evanston, streaking out to a 14-0 lead. Running back Darius Willis raced 70 yards on the first snap from scrimmage as the Wildcats' slow defense couldn't track him down. Ray Fisher set up the second score with a great punt return. Indiana's Wildcat attack also seems to be working well behind wide receiver Mitchell Evans, the trigger man.
I really believe if the Hoosiers win today they'll go bowling. Northwestern, meanwhile, is quickly losing all the momentum it generated from the 2008 season. At least defensive end Corey Wootton got his first sack of the season.
The Wildcats have come back before, and their backs are to the wall once again.
