The Indiana Hoosiers did not get their usual offensive explosion against the Washington Huskies. UW surprised the Hoosiers with some different defensive concepts than they had previously shown and backup quarterback Tayven Jackson struggled to get into any kind of rhythm. Indiana’s defense got an early pick-six and had multiple big stops and Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan turned to the running game to grind out a comfortable 31-17 win in front of a jubilant crowd at sold-out Memorial Stadium.
