In this story:


It's been another historic Indiana football season under coach Curt Cignetti, and fans may only get one more opportunity to see the Hoosiers play at Memorial Stadium in 2025.

If Indiana defeats Wisconsin on Saturday and Purdue the following week, a 12-0 regular season record would likely give the Hoosiers a first-round bye in College Football Playoff, regardless of what happens in the Big Ten championship. But before looking too far ahead, Cignetti is expecting a strong effort from Wisconsin, which snapped its six-game losing streak last weekend.

"They're coming off a top-25 win at home against Washington. They're a tough, gritty football team," Cignetti said. "They've had a murderer's row schedule: Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Iowa, Washington, Alabama, you name it."

"I've got a lot of respect for coach Fickell. He's a proven winner. The guy has had a starting quarterback available about 30 percent of the time during his tenure at Wisconsin. That's tough duty. I think we need to understand that we're going to get everybody's best shot. We're not sneaking up on anyone anymore." 

Here's more information on the matchup.
