This is now the second time the game between the Boilermakers and Hoosiers has been canceled. It was supposed to happen last weekend, but had to be called off because of coronavirus.
Now, it’s just done for good.

Coronavirus takes another college football game and bodyslams it into the ground. This also isn’t just any regular game.
This is a historic rivalry game that now won’t happen because of coronavirus. It’s a punch right to the gut.

At least Indiana is still primed and ready for a solid bowl game, which is something they haven’t had in a long time.
All things considered, this season was still a huge success for the Hoosiers.

We’ll see who they land, but Indiana’s not done just yet. I can promise you that much.
