After a much-needed week off after a 24-5 loss to Washington, the Wildcats face an even tougher test in their first Big Ten home game. The Indiana Hoosiers enter Evanston ranked 23rd nationally behind a stellar offense and an underrated defense. Indiana has won all five games by at least 14 points, and the Hoosiers rank third in the country with 48.8 points per game. For Northwestern’s defense, it will be all about shutting down IU quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who ranks seventh in the FBS in pass efficiency.

The Wildcats have only met the Hoosiers once in the last eight years, 34-3 in Bloomington in 2019. Here’s how to watch and listen to the first meeting between these two teams in Evanston since 2016.
