Big Ten football kicks off tomorrow

That means its time for a game prediction and what to watch for...

Game: Eastern Kentucky vs. Indiana
Time: 7:00 p.m. central
TV: Big Ten Network

Eastern Kentucky Colonels Breakdown:
Eastern Kentucky is the defending Ohio Valley Conference champions, going 8-4 last season. The Colonels have 31 consecutive winning seasons, second only to Florida State (32) for the most consecutive winning seasons.
Players to watch for:
- Cody Watts: The wide receiver turned quarterback takes over the reigns for Allan Holland, last years OVC player of the year. Watts went 11 for 13 passing last season for 145 yards, while also having 24 receptions for 402 yards as a wideout.
-Derek Hardman: the 6'6", 300 lb offfensive lineman is a FCS (formerly 1-AA) preseason All-American.

Indiana Hoosiers Breakdown:
The Hoosiers look to show off their newly renovated Memorial Stadium and look to rebound from a poor showing in 2008 where they finished 3-9. Indiana is moving to the "pistol" offense, in which the quarterback lines up four yards behind the center and the running back lines up one yard behind the quarterback.
Players to watch for:
Ben Chappell: With Kellen Lewis gone for good, Chappell takes over as the full-time starter. The Junior threw for just over 1,000 yards last season with 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
Jammie Kirlew and Greg Middleton: The defensive ends are two of the best in the country. Kirlew and Middleton have a combined 36.5 sacks, the highest for any duo in the country.

Prediction: It's going to be another tough season for Bill Lynch and the Hoosiers, but look for IU to pull this one out.
