Which Offense Will Prevail?

Both passing offenses are obviously elite, but the rushing attack will come into play as well. Missouri utilizes a committee approach and only averages 265 yards per game.

On the other hand, Indiana has a budding star at running back with Tevin Cole and his 332 yards and five scores while averaging eight yards per carry.

The deal breaker here may be Indiana's run defense, which allowed 444 rushing yards in a home loss to Navy. If Missouri chooses to take a grind-it-out approach following Navy's model, the Tigers can escape with a win.

Both offenses have shown well against lesser competition, but it was Indiana that struggled en route to this matchup. How both teams adapt to the knowledge gleaned from Indiana's loss to Navy will decide the game.

Prediction

At home Indiana is going to be tough to defeat, and Missouri is not a team like Navy that will run the ball 70 times even with a matchup against a potent offense.

Both teams run a similar style that makes it difficult to forecast, but the play of Sudfeld for Indiana through two games is hard to ignore. At the end of the day, Sudfeld is the star for the Hoosiers who will make all the difference.

Expect a shootout, but score one for the Big Ten here over the SEC as Sudfeld orchestrates an efficient aerial assault.

Final Score 

Hoosiers win 49-42
