Indiana @ Navy preview

Indiana will try to snap a four-game losing streak and solve Navy's triple option offense when it visits the Midshipmen for the first time on Saturday. The Hoosiers have been outscored by only 24 points during their slide, including a 52-49 loss to Ohio State last week. Indiana's rushing defense, 109rd among the 120 FBS teams, will face the No. 14 rushing offense. Navy has won two straight and three of four since opening the season with losses to Notre Dame and Penn State. The Midshipmen have averaged only 15.2 points in their five games against FBS teams, but 29.5 in their last two.

ABOUT INDIANA (2-4): The Hoosiers trailed the Buckeyes 52-34 before scoring twice in the final 1:40 to record their highest point total against Ohio State. Sophomore Cameron Coffman has done an admirable job filling in for starter Tre Roberson, who broke his leg in the second game and is out for the season. Coffman has completed 62.8 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and one interception while running the high-tempo offense. Running back Stephen Houston leads the Hoosiers with six touchdowns and has scored in every game while wide receiver Shane Wynn has a team-high 31 receptions and five scores. Defensive tackle Adam Replogle leads Big Ten linemen with 6.8 tackles per game.

ABOUT NAVY (3-3): The Midshipmen's 31-13 victory over Central Michigan last Friday featured three touchdown passes by quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who was 6-of-11 for 134 yards - 83 on the scoring plays. Navy, which averages 233.3 yards rushing, is 117th in the country in passing offense at 119.5 yards per game, with only 87 passing attempts against 305 rushes. Reynolds will start at quarterback Saturday as Trey Miller continues to nurse an ankle injury suffered during Navy's 28-21 overtime victory at Air Force on Oct. 6. The Midshipmen allowed 172.3 yards rushing per game, which could tempt Indiana to grind it out on the ground and keep Navy's option offense off the field.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Indiana has scored 24 or more points in six straight games during the same season for the second time in school history. The 1988 team also opened with six such contests.

2. Reynolds became the first Navy quarterback since Chris McCoy in 1997 to throw three touchdown passes in a game.

3. Indiana won the previous two meetings, 38-35 in 1985 and 52-29 in 1986.
