    I like Indiana. Every game since '02 (other than last year's) has come down to the last possession. Last year's IU team was a complete weed-out year; get the guys out that don't want to play and play the freshmen who want to be MEN.

    I will say that I am an IU fan, but I think this game will be a high scoring shootout. Our offense has put up points no matter who our QB has been this year, so I think we will put up our fair share of points.

    Now stopping the opponent? That will be a problem. But like I said, IU/NU games have typically come down to a score late.

    Northwestern wins by 2 TDs I think. Granted I'm a biased Northwestern alum, but our defense is significantly improved this year.

    Also, our offense is good against bad defenses and but can be easily frustrated by good defenses. I realize that sounds obvious, but a mobile/shotgun QB can score quickly against a bad defense, but a competent defense can stymie that sort of strategy fairly easily.

    44-27 NW.....I'm on OVer 58.5 fairly big

    Indiana's defense is horrible and their offense runs the hurry up so more possessions....more points

    ^^This. As an Indiana fan I think we stand a chance to win, but if we do we are going to have to score 40+
