ESPN Big Ten Bloggers Adam Rittenberg and Brian Bennett gave their predictions on week 2. Here is their prediction for the IU game:
INDIANA at MASSACHUSETTSBrian Bennett: Picking Indiana to beat anybody on the road is dicey at this stage. But the Minutemen might not be as good as Indiana State. The Hoosiers fall behind early but rally behind Tre Roberson and knock down a fourth-down pass at the goal line on the final play. ... Indiana 21, UMass 20
Adam Rittenberg: I think Kevin Wilson is starting to trust his team more and should open up the offensive playbook more against the Minutemen. Although Indiana needs a cleaner performance on the road, it gets enough from Roberson, who tosses two touchdown passes, including one to Kofi Hughes in his return from suspension. ... Indiana 27, UMass 21
Also, the preview they wrote up for the game:
Indiana (1-0) at UMass (0-1), 3:30 p.m., ESPN3.com: Can the Hoosiers, who went 1-11 last year, start this season 2-0? They've got a great chance, even on the road, against a team playing its first home game as an FBS member. UMass was shut out last week at UConn. Indiana will have to cut down on its mistakes from the opener and convert yards into points to get the win.
