Indiana’s 3–0 record will be tested by Northwestern in a Week 3 game on Friday, broadcast on FOX. Fox Sports reports the Hoosiers have outscored their opponents 145–16, but have yet to face a power-conference team.

Indiana’s wins came against North Texas, Howard and Western Kentucky. Quarterback Josh Hoover has completed 37 of 51 passes for 649 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions, according to Fox Sports.

Northwestern enters at 2–0 after beating Colorado 41–7. The Wildcats forced four turnovers, while Aidan Chiles threw for 241 yards and recorded five total touchdowns, the most of his college career, Fox Sports reported.

Fox Sports Research predicts a large Indiana win, citing the Hoosiers’ form and Northwestern’s challenge on the road. The preview gives no exact score or margin; the prediction is not a game result.
