Ty Robinson’s four words say it all about stout Huskers rush defense
What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?
That's what we'll find out this Saturday when the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1, 2-1) take on the No. 16 Indiana Hoosiers (6-0, 3-0) on Saturday at 11 a.m.
The Huskers haven't allowed a rushing touchdown all season. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers have 13 rushing touchdowns this season and have scored touchdowns 81% of the time while in the red zone (30-for-37).

"They don't get in," he said on Tuesday.
The Blackshirt leader keeps it pretty simple but the Huskers will be up against anything but that in a talented Indiana team this weekend.
The Hoosiers have the 31st-best rushing offense in the FBS, averaging 200.3 yards per game on the ground. Indiana has scored 23 rushing touchdowns this season, which ranks third behind Boise State (24) and Army (26).
The Huskers rush defense ranks seventh-best in the nation, allowing 505 yards through six games (84.2). Nebraska is the only FBS school to not allow a rushing touchdown, as only two programs have allowed one reach (Iowa and Ole Miss).
It'll be a great matchup that will undoubtedly help decide the outcome in Saturday morning's Big Ten clash at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind.
