Hoosiers better this year, would love Purdue win

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - The Indiana Hoosiers aren't going to go to a bowl game this season. They still have a shot at the Old Oaken Bucket.

Indiana has made real progress after a terrible season a year ago. But they're coming off two blowouts, to Wisconsin and Penn State, heading into this weekend's game at rival Purdue.

A win over Purdue would make the Hoosiers 5-7, far better than the one-win debacle in coach Kevin Wilson's first year.
