  10/12/26 - Nick Marsh, Jr/2028, Indiana, 6-3, 210 (DS#5 WR) + More +

  OCT 12 WEEK 6 ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Nick Marsh, Indiana,...The third-year wide receiver had the best game of his career, catching six passes for 187 yards and scoring long touchdowns on back-to-back possessions in the fourth quarter to lead the No. 7 Hoosiers' 20-17 come-from-behind victory at Nebraska. Marsh had an eight-catch, 194-yard game against Maryland in his second college game for Michigan State, but the stakes were higher against Nebraska. His 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown and 44-yard TD on a fourth-and-1 brought the Hoosiers back from the 17-6 deficit and helped extend the defending national champion's win streak to 22 games. Marsh, who caught seven passes for 120 yards and a TD against Rutgers in the Hoosiers' previous game, is averaging 88 receiving yards per game as part of a formidable 1-2 combo with Charlie Becker. With Nebraska assigning Andrew Marshall, its best cover corner, to Becker, Marsh became Josh Hoover's top target. Of his 187 yards, 107 came after the catch. - AP College Football

  SEPT 28 WEEK 4 ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION: Indiana RB Lee Beebe Jr. carried 24 times for 203 yards, scored one touchdown and his late 70-yard burst set up Josh Hoover's game-winning TD run in a 29-23 victory over Northwestern. - AP College Football

  09/25/26 - Lee Beebe Jr., rSr/2027, Indiana, 5-10, 215 (DS#21 RB) + More +

  Lee Beebe Jr. rushed for 203 yards, including a 70-yard burst that set up Josh Hoover's game-sealing 1-yard TD run with 1:56 to play, and No. 5 Indiana held off surprising Northwestern 29-23 on Friday night. The defending national champion Hoosiers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) extended the Football Bowl Subdivision's longest active winning streak to 20 games and the longest home winning streak to 19 - but it was a struggle until the final seconds. Northwestern was within 15-13 early in the fourth quarter and had two chances to tie the score because of a pass-interference call on its first 2-point attempt. But the Hoosiers stopped quarterback Aidan Chiles on a designed run to preserve the lead. Following a facemask penalty on third-and-19 that gave Indiana a first down, Beebe ripped off a 39-yard run and then ran for a 4-yard TD with 9:39 left to make it a two-score game. After Northwestern cut the deficit to 22-20, Beebe ran 70 yards to the Wildcats 5-yard line. Six plays later, Hoover scored.

Jackson Kleather made a 42-yard field goal with 58 seconds left to make it a one-score game, but the Wildcats (2-1, 0-1) but couldn't recover the onside kick. Hoover was 19 of 29 for 201 yards and a touchdown, Charlie Becker had seven catches for 98 yards and Beebe had his second 100-yard game of the season after Turbo Richard left with a lower right leg injury in the first half. Chiles was 22 of 29 for 293 yards and touchdowns. He also rushed for a score. The Wildcats opened the game with a goal-line stand, but Chiles fumbled the snap on their first offensive play and Rolijah Hardy tackled him in the end zone for a safety. Indiana made it 5-0 on Nico Radicic's 43-yard field goal early in the second quarter and extended the margin to 12-0 with Nick Marsh's 8-yard TD catch with 5:04 left in the first half. But that's all the Hoosiers could muster in a half in which they held Northwestern to 51 total yards and minus-5 yards on the ground. - Indiana/AP College Football

  09/05/26 - Josh Hoover, rSr/2027, Indiana, 6-1, 205 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Josh Hoover threw for 231 yards and four touchdowns, including a 15-yard score on his first pass with No. 6 Indiana, and Turbo Richard rushed for two more scores to help the defending national champs open the season with a 52-16 rout of North Texas on Saturday. After celebrating last year's title during a pregame ceremony, Indiana extended the Football Bowl Subdivision's longest active winning streak to 17 games and the FBS' longest active home winning streak to 16.

Hoover finished 13 of 16 with no turnovers as he steps in for Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. Richard, a transfer from Boston College, had 15 carries for 58 yards and one catch for 38. Charlie Becker had four catches for 64 yards and two scores while Nick Marsh and Davion Chandler each had TD receptions. Jahiem White rushed 14 times for 61 yards and one score as well as catching seven passes for 36 yards in his North Texas debut. - Indiana/AP College Football

  12/07/25 - Charlie Becker, Jr/2028, Indiana, 6-3, 208 (DS#2 WR) + More +

  Indiana is the No. 1 team in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the first time after going through the regular season and Big Ten championship game 13-0, ending Ohio State's 14-week run atop the rankings. The Hoosiers' 13-10 win over the Buckeyes in Indianapolis on Saturday night made them the unanimous pick for No. 1 as they looked ahead to top seeding for their second straight appearance in the 12-team College Football Playoff. Georgia, which beat Alabama by three touchdowns in the Southeastern Conference title game, moved up one spot to No. 2 for its highest ranking of the season. Ohio State, the defending national champion, slipped two spots to No. 3.

Texas Tech, a 27-point winner over BYU in the Big 12 championship game, also has its highest ranking of the season after rising one rung to No. 4. Oregon was No. 5 and followed by Mississippi, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Miami. Miami moved up two spots and returned to the top 10 for the first time since mid-October. Alabama and BYU each dropped one spot, to Nos. 11 and 12. Among Group of Five teams, American Conference champion Tulane jumped four spots to No. 17 for its highest ranking in two years. Sun Belt Conference champion James Madison remained No. 19. The final AP Top 25 will be released Jan. 20, the day after the national championship game. - AP College Football

  12/06/25 - Fernando Mendoza, rJr/2026, Indiana, 6-5, 236 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Fernando Mendoza's 17-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Sarratt gave No. 2 Indiana the lead midway through the third quarter and the Hoosiers' stingy defense shut down No. 1 Ohio State the rest of the way in a 13-10 victory on Saturday night for their first Big Ten championship since 1967. Indiana likely locked up the top seed in the College Football Playoff while extending the best record in school history to 13-0. The Hoosiers are also now poised to claim the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time. They did it by snapping a 30-game losing streak against the Buckeyes that stretched to 1988. Indiana also ended major college football's longest winning streak at 16 games, sealing the win with a 33-yard pass from Mendoza to Charlie Becker on third down, a play that took the clock down to the 2-minute timeout. Ohio State fell to 12-1 overall though its quest to win back-to-back national championships for the first time will likely begin with the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye.

The Buckeyes had a chance to retake the lead on fourth-and-1 from the Indiana 5-yard line late in the third quarter. But a replay review overturned the call on the field, determining Julian Sayin came up short. They also had a chance to tie the score with 2:48 to play, but Jayden Fielding missed a 29-yard field goal wide left. The two quarterbacks dueling for the Heisman Trophy essentially played to a draw. Mendoza was injured on the first offensive play of the game but returned after missing one play and finished 15 of 23 for 222 yards and the one TD and one interception. Sayin was 21 of 29 for 258 yards, one TD and one interception. But when the big plays needed to be made, Mendoza usually got the job done Indiana took a 3-0 lead after Sayin was picked off in the first quarter, but the Buckeyes turned Mendoza's miscue into a 17-yard TD pass to Carnell Tate for a 7-3 lead late in the first quarter. The teams traded second quarter field goals as the Buckeyes took a 10-6 lead, but Mendoza found neatly tucked a TD pass into Sarratt near the sideline on Indiana's first possession of the third quarter and that was all they needed. - Indiana/AP College Football

  2025 BIG TEN GRIESE-BREES QUARTERBACK OF THE YEAR: Fernando Mendoza, Indiana,...Mendoza was named the Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year and Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year. He is the first to earn the conference's quarterback of the year honor since its inception in 2011. He is the fourth Hoosier to earn Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and joins Anthony Thompson (1988 & 1989) and Antwaan Randle El (2001). Along with those honors, Mendoza was the first-team All-Big Ten quarterback and is just the seventh IU signal caller and first since Randle El in 2001 to earn first team honors. It is just the third time since 1950 a Hoosier took the first team spot at quarterback along with Randle EL and Harry Gonso (1967). - Indiana Football

  11/29/25 - Josh Hoover, rSr/2027, Indiana, 6-1, 205 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Josh Hoover threw four touchdown passes, Jeremy Payne ran for 174 yards and two scores and TCU beat Cincinnati 45-23 on Saturday night in a regular-season finale delayed about 90 minutes in the first quarter by lightning and rain. The Bearcats (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) finished the regular season on a four-game losing streak that started when they were ranked 17th and poised for a run to the Big 12 championship game, and possibly a spot in the College Football Playoff. Hoover answered the first of Brendan Sorsby's three TD tosses with a 69-yard scoring pass to Jordan Dwyer that gave the Horned Frogs (8-4, 5-4) a 21-7 lead late in the first quarter. TCU led 7-0 on Hoover's 3-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Manjack IV and had just taken possession on a punt midway through the first quarter when a lightning strike prompted a weather delay that included heavy rain. When play resumed on a soggy field, Hoover connected with Payne on a 44-yard catch and run and capped the 81-yard drive with a 17-yard scoring toss to Eric McAlister. Payne finished with 218 total yards. Leading 21-14 in the second quarter, the Horned Frogs had first-and-goal at the 1 when Hoover and Jon Denman were stuffed on the first two plays.

Hoover was stopped short again on third down and shoved his hand into the face mask of Antwan Peek Jr. in the pile, drawing an unsportsmanlike penalty that forced TCU to settle for a field goal instead of going for it on fourth down. The quarterback tried pleading his case to the officials and Dykes, appearing to say somebody had already jammed their hand under his face mask before he pushed back. Even Hoover's coach didn't seem swayed by the argument. Hoover, who came into the game with a Big 12-worst 13 interceptions, was 19 of 22 for 306 yards without a pick. McAlister finished with 101 yards on eight grabs, and Dwyer was credited with a second touchdown when he recovered Joseph Manjack IV's fumble in the end zone in the third quarter. Manjack covered the first 42 of the 44 yards before losing the ball as he was going down. Sorsby, who was 23 of 33 for 282 yards without an interception, scrambled 41 yards and threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Cyrus Allen on a 94-yard drive that pulled the Bearcats within 38-23 early in the fourth quarter. Payne, who had a 9-yard TD run for a 31-17 lead in the final minute of the third quarter, put the game out of reach with a 51-yard score. - TCU/AP College Football

  11/29/25 - Turbo Richard, Jr/2028, Indiana, 5-08, 207 (DS#45 RB) + More +

  Turbo Richard ran for two second-half touchdowns, Jordan McDonald added two more, and Boston College scored 31 unanswered points to beat Syracuse 34-12 on Saturday to snap a 10-game losing streak. Boston College (2-10, 1-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) hadn't won since its season-opening 66-10 victory over FCS-member Fordham. Syracuse (3-9, 1-7) ended its season with eight consecutive losses. The Orange went 10-3 a year ago in coach Fran Brown's first season. The teams were tied 6-all when Richard scored from 16 yards out with 11:54 to go in the third quarter. He followed that with a 46-yard scamper early in the fourth, giving the Eagles a 27-6 lead. Sandwiched between those scores was a 2-yard run in the third by Jordan McDonald, who also added a 14-yard scoring run midway through the fourth.

The teams matched field goals in a first half that ended at 6-6. BC starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan suffered a game-ending thumb injury on the team's first series. He gave way to fifth-year senior Grayson James, who went 16 of 24 for 288 yards passing. Richard had 102 yards rushing. Lewis Bond had eight receptions for 171 yards. Syracuse, meanwhile, shuffled at quarterback between walk-on Joe Filardi and run-first tight end Dan Villari. Filardi was 10-of-18 passing for just 65 yards. Will Nixon ran for 73 yards and Filardi added 58. Villari chipped in with 44 yards rushing. Syracuse's longest pass plays went for 12 yards. Each of Syracuse's eight straight losses were by double digits after starting quarterback Steve Angeli went down with a season-ending Achilles injury against Clemson. Brown vowed to not get caught short at quarterback next season. Brown also chalked up a losing season to a mountain of injuries. - Boston College/AP College Football

  11/28/25 - Roman Hemby, rSr/2026, Indiana, 6-0, 207 (DS#10 RB) + More +

  Kaelon Black had two touchdown runs and Fernando Mendoza and Roman Hemby each ran for scores as No. 2 Indiana beat rival Purdue 56-3 on Friday night, completing the first perfect regular season in school history and securing a Big Ten championship game berth. The Hoosiers (12-0, 9-0, No. 2 CFP) also likely locked up a second straight College Football Playoff berth. They'll find out Saturday whether they'll play No. 1 Ohio State, No. 5 Oregon or No. 15 Michigan a week later for the conference title. Indiana celebrated by hoisting the Old Oaken Bucket in the series' 100th trophy game, while Curt Cignetti became the first Indiana coach since Bo McMillin in 1934-35 to win his first two matchups against Purdue.

Purdue (2-10, 0-9) endured more misery in the coldest game ever played at Ross-Ade Stadium, with a kickoff temperature of 24 degrees Fahrenheit. The Boilermakers closed coach Barry Odom's first season with a 10th straight loss and posted their second straight winless season in conference play, the first since 1919-20. It took the Hoosiers a quarter to adapt to the chilly conditions. Mendoza, who grew up in Miami and previously attended California, struggled. He went 8 of 15 for 117 yards and two TDs in less than three quarters. So the Hoosiers flipped the script. Black opened the scoring with a 1-yard run, Mendoza scooted 7 yards to make it 14-3 early in the second quarter, and Black spun away from a defender for a nimble 16-yard TD run with 3:40 to play in the first half. Hemby closed out the first-half scoring with an 82-yard TD run down Purdue's sideline, stiff-arming the only potential tackler who had a chance to catch him, for a 28-3 lead. The Hoosiers sealed it with Mendoza's two third-quarter TD passes - 17 yards to Elijah Sarratt and 43 yards to to Omar Cooper Jr. Hemby had 12 carries for a season-high 152 yards while Black ran 13 times for 66 yards. Indiana finished with 355 yards rushing, its second-highest total this season and sixth 300-yard game this season. Purdue's Ryan Browne was 25 of 47 for 238 yards and threw an interception on the second offensive play of the game. The Boilermakers had just 282 total yards. - Indiana/AP College Football
