Indiana football secondary prepares for KJ Duff's challenge on Saturday

Indiana football faces Rutgers on October 7, 2026, with wide receiver KJ Duff posing a significant threat. Duff, standing 6'6" and weighing 225 lbs, leads Rutgers with 29 receptions for 550 yards and seven touchdowns. Indiana's secondary is coming off a disappointing performance against Northwestern, where they struggled against similarly sized players. This matchup will test Indiana's defensive capabilities, especially with a new group of defensive backs. Indiana's strategy likely includes matching Jamari Sharpe against Duff with additional support from linebackers and safeties.
