How to watch Indiana at Oregon

Time: Saturday, Oct. 11 | 12:30 p.m. PT
Channel: CBS
Location: Autzen Stadium (Eugene, Oregon)

Oregon enjoyed a bye in Week 6 and should be well prepared for the Hoosiers. Alas, the Ducks focus was undoubtedly put to the test after they defeated Penn State in Beaver Stadium in Week 5.

In the 30-24 double-overtime win, Oregon quarterback Dante Moore was spectacular, completing 29-of-his-39 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns, without throwing an interception. Moore also rushed for 35 yards.

Dakorien Moore was Dante Moore’s go-to target. Dakorien Moore notched a game-high seven catches for 89 yards in the statement victory. Penn State’s offense wasn’t nearly as productive.

Oregon held the Nittany Lions to just 276 total yards of offense. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar particularly struggled, only completing 14-of-his-25 pass attempts for 137 total yards.

Of course, Oregon isn’t the only team with impressive wins this season. In Week 4, Indiana turned heads with a 63-10 beatdown on Illinois, which was ranked No. 9 at the time. The Hoosiers followed up the shellacking with a hard-fought 20-15 win over Iowa.

Indiana’s defense shined in the triumph, holding the Hawkeyes’ offense to 284 yards. Additionally, Indiana picked off veteran Iowa QB Mark Gronowski twice. Indiana will look to build on its momentum this weekend against the Ducks.

The two teams will clash at 12:30 p.m. PT. The game will air live at CBS.
