    PREGAME NOTES

    Indiana wins the toss and defers.

    Pat Coogan, Aiden Fisher, Riley Nowakowski and Elijah Sarratt are IU’s captains, along with honorary captain Kyle Schwarber.

    It feels like roughly 85 to 15 with the crowd in favor of Indiana.

    Lineup Notes:

    Khalil Benson was taking first team snaps at right tackle.  Multiple players have played at that spot in recent games. Daniel Ndukwe was taking first team snaps at outside linebacker.

    Injury Report:

    The final report will be released at 6 p.m. ET.  Here is the Thursday evening report.

    Key players to watch pregame are Oregon running back Noah Whittington and Indiana kickoff specialist Brendan Franke.

    Franke is on the field in uniform but only doing light warmups.

    Whittington has been going through warmups and appears likely to play.

    No. 1 INDIANA (14-0) vs. No. 5 OREGON (13-1)
