Indiana looks to punch their ticket to a Bowl game and improve to 6-0

Curt Cignetti spoke to the media this week about the challenges of playing Northwestern.

Opening Statement

“Northwestern, they're a tough challenge. This will be the best defensive team we've played. Really extremely well-coached, in the right places. They know what they're doing. They make you earn your points. They're not going to lose the game. You'll have to win it. Offensively, struggling a little bit to get their rhythm going. Quarterback position's been a little inconsistent for them but have some dynamic guys.

Kickoff return guy, a 96-yarder against Washington, plays some running back, too. Looking forward to having a good week in preparation for this next game.”

Your offensive and defensive line on both sides of the ball have done a really good job controlling that line of scrimmage. It's been a big part of your success. How do you get them to continue to keep that up and build on that as the weeks move on?

Curt: I mean, it's all to me the same. Today's got to be a great day of preparation, mental and physical preparation for the opponent coming up. You stack good days and hope you can keep your people healthy because that's a big part of it too. We're deeper in some areas than others. Keep improving.
