The Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-0, 2-0) will host the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers (5-0, 2-0) at Memorial Stadium this Saturday. The Hoosiers lead the all-time series with Nebraska 11-9-3. The teams last met in 2024, when Indiana won 56-7 in Bloomington.
Nebraska's offense ranks in the top 25 in scoring offense (43.6 ppg- 9th), total offense (475.6 ypg - 24th), rushing offense (231.0 ypg - 17th), and third-down conversion percentage (52.4% - 10th).

The Hoosiers have won 21 consecutive games, the fifth-longest winning streak by a Big Ten team
in the past 80 years. Indiana has posted a 32-2 record under coach Curt Cignetti.
Indiana once again ranks in the top ten nationally in both scoring offense (44.2 ppg - 2nd) and scoring defense (10.80 - 5th). IU also ranks nationally in total defense (237.8 ypg - 4th) and total offense (489.6 ypg - 14th).
The Huskers look for their first win over a ranked opponent since beating the Oregon Ducks 35-32 in 2016. Nebraska last defeated a top-ten opponent with a 39-38 win over No. 6 Michigan State at Memorial Stadium in 2016.
