Northwestern-Indiana football game today, live score updates: Where to watch, schedule

BLOOMINGTON — Some may say the season finally begins tonight for Indiana football (3-0) after its soft nonconference slate, and they are not underestimating Northwestern for the Big Ten opener.

The Wildcats (2-0) dismantled Colorado 41-7 last week, and it clearly had the attention of Curt Cignetti, who has been known for the preparation of his teams.

"Going to have to be really on point this week. Northwestern is a really give football team," Cignetti said Monday. "Coach [David] Braun has done a great job with that program. He's a really smart, detailed, thorough guy. It shows up on tape."

The No. 4 Hoosiers will put streaks of 19 straight wins and 17 at Memorial Stadium on the line when the teams meet at 8 p.m. Friday on Fox.
