Uncharted territory might be an understatement.
Bloomington, Indiana, hasn’t seen a game between two top-20 college football programs since October of 1987, when the Hoosiers hosted Michigan.
That three-decade-long streak ends Saturday night when No. 9 Illinois visits to take on No. 19 Indiana.
A sellout was announced July 31, turning the week four clash between two rising programs into more than just a conference opener.
Fans and national media are calling it a big deal, but Indiana remains steadfast in its message: it’s just another game.
“This is just another game to me,” defensive lineman Kellen Wyatt said Tuesday.
