Indiana Notes
ON THE OUTSIDE
Indiana features one of the Big Ten's top offenses that includes two of the top four receivers in the league. Ricky Jones (466) and Nick Westbrook (437) rank second and fourth in receiving yards and Westbrook is fourth in the league with four receiving touchdowns. Mitchell Paige is also in the top 10 in yards with 362.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior college transfer Richard Lagow may wear the number 21, but the Hoosiers' first-year signal caller has been among the conference's best quarterbacks through six games. Lagow ranks second in passing yards (1,656), touchdowns (12) and fourth in passing efficiency (145.8). He posted a season-high 496 yards and three touchdowns vs. Wake Forest on Sept. 24.
LAST TIME THEY MET
Northwestern and Indiana last met at Ryan Field on Sept. 29, 2012, with the Wildcats compiling a school-record 704 yards of total offense en route to a 44-29 victory. Current Denver Broncos starting quarterback Trevor Siemian completed 22-of-32 passes for 308 yards and Kain Colter rushed for 161 yards and four scores.
