Nov 2, 2024, 10:34 PM

Indiana University's football team, led by coach Curt Cignetti, achieved a historic 47-10 victory over Michigan State, marking the first 9-0 start in program history. After trailing 10-0 in the first quarter—the first time the Hoosiers had trailed or allowed first-quarter points this season—Indiana responded with 47 unanswered points, their largest margin of victory against Michigan State. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke delivered a standout performance with 139 passing yards and four touchdowns. The Hoosiers blocked two punts during the game and have now won nine consecutive games by at least 14 points, an 8-game straight-up and against-the-spread win streak. The win ties Indiana's single-season record for victories, previously set in 1945 and 1967. Indiana, which has never won 10 games in a season, will host 5-4 Michigan next week with aspirations for a College Football Playoff berth.
