Indiana won its first Big Ten championship since 1967, finishing 13-0 and likely securing the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. This victory snapped a 30-game losing streak to Ohio State and ended the Buckeyes' 16-game winning streak, marking a program-defining moment.
Fernando Mendoza overcame an early injury to deliver key plays, including a 17-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Sarratt for the go-ahead score and a 33-yard completion to Charlie Becker on third down to seal the win. His performance (15/23, 222 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) earned him game MVP honors and Heisman consideration.
Indiana's defense held Ohio State to just 10 points, forcing a critical turnover on downs at the 5-yard line in the third quarter and a missed field goal late in the game. The unit's ability to shut down the Buckeyes' offense was instrumental in the victory.
The Hoosiers effectively moved the ball and controlled the clock, keeping Ohio State's offense off the field. This strategy allowed Indiana to do just enough offensively to secure the win, highlighting their ability to execute in high-pressure situations.
Coach Curt Cignetti emphasized the need to keep the team humble and hungry during the three-week break before the playoffs. This mindset suggests Indiana will focus on maintaining discipline and avoiding complacency as they prepare for their next opponent.
Indiana Hoosiers — 13-0 overall, 6-5-2 ATS, power rating +31.4.
