Not a lot of thoughts this week, because I'm cutting things pretty close! Time t-minus 4 hours to kickoff, and I need to try to get some costume preparation done before and/or after going out to watch the game.
A big key to the game will be a whether Indiana will have the services of QB Kellen Lewis. He is a versatile and experienced threat, but an ankle injury could limit his play or see him on the sidelines entirely. IU has a decent rushing attack for the season, but Lewis is their leading gainer on the ground. If he is out, expect to see an even more aggressive NU defense.
On the other side, Indiana's pass defense is...not vaunted. Bachér will need to be efficient with the ball and keep the Cats on an even offensive keel. To have a big day akin to last week's 48 points, Northwestern will need big gains as well as drive-savers from C.J.
NU is an 8-point favorite in this game, and the O/U is 52.5. I'm going to pick a close-ish one. Northwestern 31, Indiana 22.
Let's go Cats!
