Indiana University's football team achieved a historic milestone by defeating Michigan 20-15 at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, improving their record to 10-0 for the first time in the program's 126-year history. Under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti, who remarked, "What are we, 10-0? Not bad," the Hoosiers secured their first 10-win season and remained undefeated in the Big Ten at 7-0. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke contributed significantly to the victory, and the defense delivered a strong performance, holding Michigan's offense in check. The win over Michigan, the Big Ten's winningest program and defending national champion now falling to 5-5, propels Indiana into the College Football Playoff conversation ahead of a bye week followed by a matchup against Ohio State. The victory highlights Indiana's remarkable turnaround from a 3-9 record the previous year.
