Indiana football has announced its availability report ahead of the Week 6 matchup against Northwestern on Saturday afternoon. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET at Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium in Evanston, Illinois, and will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.

Five players from the Hoosiers are listed as OUT: redshirt senior kicker Derek McCormick, redshirt junior kicker Alejandro Quintero, redshirt junior defensive tackle Robby Harrison, redshirt freshman defensive end Ta’Derius Collins, and freshman defensive lineman Mario Landino. No players are marked as questionable.
