Indiana vs Rutgers: Perception vs Reality w/ College Football with Sam / Indiana Hoosiers LIVE 101

Indiana vs Rutgers: Perception vs Reality w/ College Football with Sam | Indiana Hoosiers LIVE 101 Alec Keezer and Brad Loomis run through a loaded week of Hoosier news before welcoming College Football with Sam for a full Rutgers preview and a 25-game picks slate. In the smoke: Kellen Wyatt and Stephen Daly are cleared to play (for now), Fernando Mendoza launches "Finance with Fernando," and Indiana's streak of 28 straight games winning or tying the turnover battle ties a modern record. The guys weigh in on the USC-Oregon hit and celebration, Rivals charging $500 for player evals, the proposed 24-team playoff and new conference-strength metric, the Protect College Sports Act, the Sarkisian comms flap and Cignetti response, and whether the fan base's frustration after four weeks is fair when Cignetti himself says the Hoosiers left four touchdowns on the field. Brad's Rutgers history lesson covers the birthplace of college football, the Greg Schiano rebuild, the 2006 Louisville upset, and the program's first-ever bowl win. Then Sam breaks down why Indiana metrically profiles like Georgia, why this year's team looks like a blend of 2025 Indiana and 2025 Miami, and why Rutgers (ESPN FPI's worst team in the Big Ten) has exactly two real threats in KJ Duff and Antoine Raymond. Keys to the game: stop Raymond, take the football away, get Josh Hoover and the receivers in rhythm, and finally cover the spread after an 0-4 ATS start. Score predictions: Sam 52-7, Brad 56-7, Alec 49-0. Then the full slate: Penn State-Northwestern, Pitt-Virginia Tech, Michigan-Minnesota, Alabama-Mississippi State, Notre Dame-North Carolina, Ohio State-Iowa, Maryland-Nebraska, Florida-Missouri, Miami-Clemson, Texas Tech-Colorado and more, with Sam's unbiased reads on every line. Indiana at Rutgers kicks off Saturday night on Big Ten Network. Big Noon Kickoff comes to Bloomington for Nebraska next week. Follow Sam on X @CFBwSam and on YouTube at College Football with Sam.
