VIDEO: Defensive Coordinator Kane Wommack Sees Benefit in Consecutive Road Games

Winning at Maryland will help the Hoosiers defense be more comfortable when they travel to Lincoln this week for a big showdown with Nebraska.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — It was the best of both worlds Saturday night for Indiana, because the Hoosiers went on the road and got a huge Big Ten win, plus learned a lot to prepare them for their next game.

Indiana beat Maryland 34-28, closing out the game by creating two fourth-quarter turnovers. They also did a great job of keeping speedy Maryland quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome in the pocket all night.

That will come in handy this week, when the Hoosiers hit the road against at Nebraska. Indiana defensive coordinator talks about what the Hoosiers learned in this VIDEO, but he talks about the growth of cornerback Reece Taylor, who was a high school quarterback and is learning his way at a new position.

Pigrome, who broke free for a 61-yard touchdown run a week earlier against Purdue, was held in check by the Hoosiers. His longest run all day was only 9 yards.

Indiana is 5-2 on the season and 2-2 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers have won consective conference games and seek their third straight win on Saturday at Nebraska.

The Cornhuskers are 4-3 and are coming off a bye week. They are also 2-2 in the Big Ten, with wins over Illinois and Northwestern and losses to two of the league's unbeaten teams, Ohio State and Minnesota. Neither of those losses were close, losing 48-7 to the Buckeyes and 34-7 to the Gophers two weeks ago before their bye week.

Nebraska is coached by Scott Frost, who is in his second year in Lincoln.
