The actual game which Hoosiers Head Coach, Curt Cignetti, has been very vocal about packing the house for all four quarters, will kick off at noon on Big Ten Network inside a sold-out Memorial Stadium which holds up to 52,000+ people.
Indiana who is 7-0 will enter the weekend with the nation’s third-longest active winning streak and the second-longest winning streak to start a season in program history.
The Indiana football program announced an injury update on Sunday (Oct. 20) that redshirt senior quarterback Kurtis Rourke will be out for the game due to a thumb injury but is expected to return at some point this season.
Washington who is 4-3 is coming off of a bye and will make its second ever trip to Memorial Stadium and first since 1978.
