Good chance Indiana takes over first place by the end of the weekend by the mirror fact that Sparty hasn’t won a conference game yet..

Huskers just need to win this series sweeping would be epic..

Yeah, we have to match Indiana's wins to stay ahead. Also, If Iowa sweeps us (spit) they will tie us at 10-5.
