  "account": "The Indiana Hoosiers, currently 4-0, are set to face off against Rutgers, the defending national champions, with a record of 1-3. Rutgers holds a slight edge in the head-to-head series, winning the last three matchups. However, the overall all-time series record is tied at 5-5.\n\nIndiana's upcoming schedule includes three road games in four weeks, beginning with a visit to Nebraska. Meanwhile, Rutgers will be on the road for three games in four weeks, starting at Maryland.\n\nFor Indiana, the key to victory will be avoiding mistakes on defense, as they have been relatively strong thus far. The defense has allowed limited scoring and hasn't been penalized, ensuring a solid foundation for the offense. Meanwhile, Rutgers must capitalize on their offensive strengths, as their recent success against USC suggests they have found their rhythm.",
  "summary": "Indiana keeps on winning, but it hasn't been a dominant national title force yet. Rutgers will try to make this a game. Here's the CFN preview and prediction.",
