Indiana football (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) is set to take on USC (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) this afternoon at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana.

The Hoosiers are coming off of a bye week that followed two overtime wins, one on the road at Michigan and the second back at home against Minnesota. The bye came at the right time for Indiana, with injuries stacking up throughout the lineup, but the Hoosiers find themselves in an rough spot with both starting running back Turbo Richard and right guard Joe Brunner out, per this week’s availability report.

The Trojans are similarly coming off of a bye week, only theirs followed a win over the same Ohio State team that handed Indiana its lone loss on the season. USC, sitting at No. 18 in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings, is Indiana’s last real chance at notching a quality win before any sort of postseason play.
