Foster Farms Bowl

Indiana vs. Utah

December 28, 2016 8:30 p.m.

Santa Clara, CA

Indiana is another Big Ten team that slid into bowl season with a victory in its final game of the regular season. Since then there’s been a head coaching change, so it’s difficult to know what to expect in the Foster Farms Bowl.

Still, the Hoosiers have a very potent, quick-strike offense, led by quarterback Richard Lagow, who was second in the Big Ten with an average of 265 passing yards a game. When Lagow isn’t slinging the ball around the Hoosiers use a run scheme that can be tough to defend.

A minus-seven turnover ratio hurt Indiana this season.

Utah suffered through an up-and-down season. The Utes started 4-0, including a victory over USC. However, they dropped three of their final four games against Washington, Oregon, and Colorado.

The Utes like to run the ball with Joe Williams. The senior rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored nine touchdowns this season.

This one could be a very interesting and entertaining matchup.
