I really want 40 points again this week. I believe we will get that number again against MSU (if weather cooperates). That is a huge streak.
 
It’ll be tough, though. I believe only one team, Illinois, has scored more than 10 points on the Nebraska defense. If IU can hang 40+ they’ll get huge respect and votes to be in the top 10.
Illinois popped Nebraska for 31 points in their victory in Lincoln. Indiana could/should surpass that total in a home contest.

Indiana's offense is far more prolific than the Illinois offense. Indiana is averaging a gaudy 515 yards per game of total offense. Illinois averages 382 yards of total offense. Indiana is at 47.5 points per game while Illinois is at 31 points per game.

Indiana has proven they have the firepower to blow people's doors completely off....

I want them to do the same to Nebraska because it will help them win the game. I hope the Home Coming crowd gives IU and extra boost for the game.
