Schedule
The Hoosiers' 2020 schedule originally consisted of 7 home games and 5 away games;[ 14] however, the Big Ten moved to a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[ 15] [ 16] The Hoosiers were also originally scheduled to play three non-conference games, against Western Kentucky and Ball State at home and on the road against UConn .
The Hoosiers were scheduled to host Penn State , Illinois , Michigan , Maryland and Purdue . They were scheduled to travel to Wisconsin , Ohio State , Minnesota , Rutgers and Michigan State .
The season was canceled on August 11, 2020,[ 5] but announced on September 16 that the decision had been reversed, and that the football season would begin on October 23.[ 17]
On December 9, Purdue and Indiana announced a mutual one-time cancellation of the Old Oaken Bucket game scheduled for December 12 after team-related activities were paused because of an elevated number of coronavirus cases within both the Boilermakers' and Hoosiers' programs.[ 18] On December 13, Purdue and Indiana came to a mutual agreement to reschedule the Old Oaken Bucket game for one week later, on December 18;[ 19] however, on December 15, both teams again mutually agreed to cancel the Friday contest, due to issues remaining on both teams with COVID complications.[ 20]
