The sixth-year senior is showing that he is ready for big-time college football.
The Huskers faced off against one elite quarterback once this year when they defeated Shedeur Sanders and Colorado. Now, they will be facing another.
Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke has taken the Big Ten by storm so far this year. Through six games, he has passed for 1,752 yards and 16 touchdowns with just two interceptions. He has been just what the Hoosiers needed and has exceeded all expectations that were placed on him when he landed in Bloomington out of the transfer portal. Up next, he faces the Huskers and their sturdy defense.earlier in the week, and Rourke was listed at No. 5.
Rourke has guided a transformation of Indiana's offense along with a stable of other transfers brought in by head coach Curt Cignetti. Before the season, not many would have pegged the trip to Indiana as one of the toughest games on Nebraska's schedule. However, at this point in the season, this will be the toughest game the Huskers have played.
However, the Huskers' defense can not simply key in on the passing game, either. The Hoosiers are an excellent running team and have 23 rushing touchdowns on the year, compared to Nebraska's 11. Long story short, the Huskers have not been tested on defense the way they will be on Saturday by Rourke and Indiana's offense.Tanner Johnson is a sports writer and journalist who has experience covering multiple sports, collegiate and professional.
