The 2025 IU football season is here, and we are moving right along into week two.
Coming off a season opening win over Old Dominion, Indiana hosts Kennesaw State this Saturday at Noon ET (FS1).
The Owls are led by quarterback Dexter Williams, who spent four seasons in Bloomington. KSU lost on the road to Wake Forest 10-9 in week one. Williams was 12 of 33 passing for 149 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also rushed 14 times for 44 yards and was sacked twice.
So what’s the outlook for this Saturday in Bloomington?
The gambling forecast in Vegas is calling IU around a 35.5-point favorite, give or take a half point at various outlets.
ESPN’s FPI model gives IU a 94.6% chance to win vs Kennesaw State. The Hoosiers moved down four spots to No. 29 in FPI following their win over ODU. The Owls are No. 122 in the FPI model, moving up 10 spots following their one-point loss at Wake Forest. In case you’re wondering, Wake Forest is No. 96, 14 spots below Old Dominion.
The early weather forecast for Saturday appears to once again be picture perfect, with kickoff temperatures around 70, and no precipitation or meaningful wind anticipated. Obviously you’ll want to check back on that later in the week.
