QUARTERBACK

• Anthony Colandrea is NEB's confirmed starter

  7.99 Y/A

  Anthony Colandrea is NEB's confirmed starting quarterback. Colin Lavery's October 9 game preview explicitly identifies Colandrea as Nebraska's starter against Indiana. 2026 line: 1142 passing yards, 65.7% completions, 7.99 yards per attempt, 13-2 TD-INT over 5 games.

• Josh Hoover is IU's projected starter

  10.29 Y/A

  Josh Hoover is IU's projected starting quarterback. TJ Inman's October 9 Nebraska preview discusses Hoover directing Indiana's passing attack for this matchup, but does not explicitly announce the game-day starter. 2026 line: 1101 passing yards, 71.0% completions, 10.29 yards per attempt, 15-0 TD-INT over 5 games.

TURNOVERS

• NEB: 1.6 takeaways per game to IU's 0.6

  1 TO

  Nebraska has forced 1.6 turnovers a game over 5 games, Indiana 0.6. That one extra takeaway a game is a real gap so far, though turnover rates over 5 games drift. At home, Nebraska has the better shot at a short field, which matters most if Indiana's offence is otherwise moving the ball.

SITUATIONAL

• IU: 34.5 penalty yards per game to NEB's 73.4

  38.9 YDS

  Indiana gives away 34.5 penalty yards a game through 5 games, in line with last season's 27.6, so the discipline looks real. Nebraska is at 73.4, well above its 43.5 last season, which points to a rough patch that may ease. Flags can extend drives and swing field position, and at home Nebraska is the side more likely to hurt itself, though expect some regression from that high number.

TEAM RECORD

• Big Ten game: IU 2-0, NEB 2-0 in conference

  CONFERENCE
