But we’re back with a dandy. The Huskers are in the national spotlight as they warm up for an 11 a.m. showdown with the No. 16 Hoosiers in Bloomington, Indiana.

You’ve heard it all week, but let’s remind ourselves one last time what this is about. With a win, Nebraska breaks its losing streak, slips against top-25 teams and will likely climb back up the rankings.

With a loss, well… By the way, Indiana is the favorite in today’s game – most sportsbooks like the Hoosiers by about a touchdown.

So let’s watch together. Follow our live updates below and refresh to stay up to date.

12:15 p.m Man, IU quarterback Kurtis Rourke has the back-shoulder ball down.

12:14 p.m Ceyair Wright with a pass breakup forcing a third-and-long pass instead of a second-and-short pass. This is a competition.

12:07 p.m touchdown, Huskers. Jacory Barney remained untouched in the final battle from seven meters away. Very important reaction for the Huskers there. The game started to get out of hand.

12:04 p.m Huskers on the move. Dylan Raiola made some really slick passes of 25 and 19 yards.

11:55 a.m Touchdown, Indiana. Hoosiers just got off the field in a hurry. A 28-yard pass, followed by a 37-yard strike and then a nifty screen for a TD on a 7-yard pass.

Scoring drive: 6 plays, 88 yards, 2:19. (It felt more like 30 seconds).

11:52 a.m Dante Dowdell gets some love from the Husker sideline after his mistake. Matt Rhule put his arm around the running back and switched with him. Several players also patted him on the shoulder.

11:49 am It was a hectic first quarter. Both coaches had to make important decisions in the fourth game.

11:47 am Oh boy. Dante Dowdell simply fumbled on his fourth down run. It looked like he would have had the first down if he had kept the ball. NU has lost two fumbles this season, both by Dowdell.

11:45 a.m Now it’s time for the Huskers to make a decision. NU will face fourth-seeded Indiana 12. Timeout, NU. Walk or kick?

11:44 am Hello, Heinrich Haarberg. He ran just 8 yards for a third-and-1. Nice run from HH.

11:43 a.m Big first down pickup for Nebraska. Raiola to Lloyd for 10 yards on third down. Nice transport connections. NU at IU 21.

11:38 a.m Mikai Gbayor comes home for the four-down sack. He was untouched. Huge game for the Huskers, who come up big on their second attempt in the fourth. NU ball at 25.

11:34 am Indiana has a four-and-2 from the NU 25. Hoosiers takes time out to think about it.

11:29 a.m Nebraska punts after getting a first down on third down through a nice connection between Dylan Raiola and Thomas Fidone.

Buschini’s punt is solid, but IU is able to return it 20 yards to take over at the NU 45.

11:17am Touchdown, Indiana. Judge Ellison is on a 5-yard rush. There couldn’t have been a much better start for the home team. This is the first rushing TD the Huskers have allowed this year.

11:16 a.m First big decision of the game. On fourth-and-1, Indiana goes all out and converts a pass to the Nebraska 5.

11:14 a.m Indiana’s Judge Ellison just managed a 43-yard run on third-and-1. Malcolm Hartzog attacks him at the NU 23.

11:07 am Nebraska wins the throw, shifts, and Indiana starts with the ball.
