Indiana has built off a 2024 season when it made the College Football Playoff, jumping to 4-0 after an impressive 63-10 win over the No. 9 Illinois Fighting Illini. Led by junior quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has 975 passing yards and 14 touchdowns, the Hoosiers' offense averages 588.5 yards per game, the second most in all of college football.

A strong boot from Drew Stevens converts a 40-yard field goal to get the Hawkeyes on the board.
