After a Friday game in the season opener and a late kickoff last week, Indiana is expecting a big draw with a noon kickoff on Saturday against WKU.
Last weekend, the Hoosiers late kickoff was made even later by torrential rain that came through the north side of town in the early evening. The paid attendance didn't suffer as the Hoosiers claimed a figure of 46,785, but the stands weren't close to full outside of the hearty student section.
Z.G. Clevenger Award winners Randy Wittman and Joe Huff, Leanne Grotke Award winners Linda Batdorf and Terri Fancher and Bill Orwig Award winner Kurt Zorn will be honored at the beginning of halftime. Wittman is the 15th all-time leading scorer in IU basketball history and was part of the 1981 national championship team. Huff was an outside linebacker/defensive end that helped IU to the Peach Bowl in 1987 and a win in the Liberty Bowl in 1988.
The honorary captains will be patients from Riley Children's Hospital. IU coach Tom Allen will greet them before the game. The U.S. Army Veteran of the Game is Tom Cook. He's a 1948 graduate who earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart in World War II and took part in the Battle of the Bulge. He will be honored during the third media timeout in the second quarter.
