The Indiana Hoosiers football team has perhaps its last truly winnable game of the season on Saturday when they travel to face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. After four straight losses, the last three to Big Ten Conference foes, IU can pick up a win heading into the bye week this weekend.

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) previews the Hoosiers' clash with Rutgers on Saturday. As one of the worst offenses and best defenses in the Big Ten, the Knights present a unique challenge for IU.

During his weekly radio show, Tom Allen spoke about Rutgers, who is the third IU foe this season to meet the Hoosiers off a bye week. A new offensive coordinator and a trio of QB options will make it challenging to gameplan for.

The show wraps by looking at the biggest storylines heading into the game, including this being the last Big Ten game IU will enter as not a heavy underdog. Can they get over the hump and will the defense improve enough to come away victorious.
