Week 8 Gameday Roundup: Nebraska

Quick summary statistics for Indiana's 56-7 victory against Nebraska

Indiana is, one-by-one, eliminating excuses for national pundits to use against counting the Hoosiers as real contenders. The Vinn Diagram overlap between those who haven’t legitimized Indiana’s quality because of its schedule to this point and those who are willing to give Nebraska undue respect in 2024 must now acknowledge that Indiana is one of the premier teams in the conference this season.

On paper, there were signs that Indiana would outpace the SP+ projected score of 25-20 and easily cover (-6.5), but to win 56-7 and clear the over (49.5) by themselves? I didn’t necessarily read that in the data, but suddenly, a game that offered potential insight into what the ceiling for this Indiana team can be has further blurred the boundary.
