Hoosiers Run Wild, Smashing Cornhuskers 56-7
Indiana football put on an absolute clinic in Bloomington on Saturday, absolutely crushing Nebraska in a 56-7 blowout. The Hoosiers' offense was unstoppable, racking up over 500 yards of total offense, while the defense was suffocating, holding the Cornhuskers to just a single touchdown.
It was a statement win for Indiana, a team that is looking to make some noise in the Big Ten this year. And it couldn't have come at a better time, as the Hoosiers were coming off a disappointing loss to Penn State.
Hoosiers Roll Early and Often
The Hoosiers got off to a fast start, scoring on their first drive with a touchdown pass from Connor Bazelak to Cam Camper. They wouldn't look back.
Bazelak was fantastic, throwing for four touchdowns and over 300 yards. Camper was a beast, hauling in two scores and over 100 yards receiving. And the running game was equally impressive, with Shaun Shivers and Josh Henderson both running for over 100 yards and a touchdown.
Nebraska's Offense Nowhere to Be Found
The Cornhuskers' offense was completely outmatched. They couldn't move the ball against the Hoosiers' defense, and their only touchdown came on a long run by Anthony Grant. Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson struggled mightily, throwing two interceptions.
This was a game that was never in doubt from the very beginning. It was a complete domination by the Hoosiers, who showed that they are a legitimate contender in the Big Ten.
Looking Ahead
The Hoosiers now face a tough test next week against Ohio State. They'll need to continue their offensive firepower and defensive dominance if they want to pull off an upset. But with the momentum they've built, anything is possible.
This was a huge win for Indiana. They're back on track, and they're ready to make some noise in the Big Ten.
