Indiana has impressed me through two weeks, as HC Frank Cignetti's team has built off the success he had last year at James Madison. With several of those players now suiting up for IU, that shouldn't be surprising. The Hoosiers have been especially intimidating on the defensive side of the ball, creating havoc. They have allowed ten points through two weeks, registering 10 sacks, 16 TFLs, 3 INTs and 3 forced fumbles. While the competition wasn't stiff, the Bruins' prospects aren't looking rosy against this IU front.
UCLA struggled with Hawaii in its first game. It was shut out in the 1st half and needed a last-second FG to win. Maybe Chip Kelly wasn't so bad after all? The Bruins are dealing with injuries on the offensive line and will struggle in the trenches versus the Hoosiers after failing to get a push against the undersized Rainbow Warriors.
This will be a statement game and opportunity for a Hoosiers program that's itching for relevancy. Indiana will win and cover on Saturday in Los Angeles.
