Indiana Dominates Purdue 56-3 with Five Rushing Touchdowns
| Team | Score | Key Scorer |
| Indiana (No. 2) | 56 | Kaelon Black (2 TDs) |
| Purdue | 3 | Field goal only |
No. 2 Indiana demolished Purdue 56-3 to clinch their spot in the Big Ten Championship Game. The Hoosiers powered their way to a dominant victory through rushing superiority. Running back Kaelon Black led the offensive onslaught with two rushing touchdowns, electrifying fans with his elusiveness and second-half explosiveness.
Fernando Mendoza and Roman Hemby each added rushing touchdowns for Indiana, combining with Black’s two scores for four total rushing TDs. Indiana’s defense suffocated Purdue’s offense, limiting the Boilermakers to a single field goal in Ross-Ade Stadium. This dominant performance marks Indiana’s first undefeated regular season since 1945, a remarkable achievement for the program.
Indiana Hoosiers Complete Perfect Regular Season with 12-0 Record
The Indiana Hoosiers finished 12-0 in the regular season, securing their first perfect record in program history since 1945. This 9-0 Big Ten record puts Indiana in prime position for College Football Playoff consideration alongside their conference championship game appearance.
Purdue finished the season 2-10 with an 0-9 Big Ten record, making the Hoosiers’ dominance even more pronounced. Indiana’s balanced attack and stifling defense proved too much for the struggling Boilermakers. Head coach Curt Cignetti has built a powerhouse in his first year, with the Hoosiers now preparing for the Big Ten Championship Game.
What’s Next for Texas and Indiana in College Football’s Final Chapter?
The Texas Longhorns face an uncertain playoff future after their impressive upset victory over Texas A&M. With their 9-3 record and quality win, Texas may still have playoff hopes, pending other results around the nation. Texas’s defense will need to carry momentum into their final games.
Indiana’s perfect season positions them as a dangerous playoff contender. The Hoosiers will face the SEC Championship winner in the Big Ten Championship Game, likely Georgia or Texas A&M. Indiana’s path to the playoffs appears much clearer given their undefeated status and dominant victories. The Hoosiers enter the biggest game of their season as legitimate national title contenders with no losses to justify.
