Indiana Overwhelms Charlotte 52-14, Improves to 4-0


Written by: TJ Inman

A week after drilling UCLA in Pasadena, the Indiana Hoosiers returned home and welcomed the Charlotte 49ers to Bloomington. IU fans worried about how this team would deal with success, something that has plagued Indiana football for ages but those concerns were quickly put to bed as the Hoosier offense scored on its first seven possessions en route to a 52-14 victory over Biff Poggi’s squad. Kurtis Rourke again exhibited complete control of the offense, completing 16 of 20 passes for 258 yards with one passing touchdown and 32 yards rushing plus one score. Indiana set a new school for points in a four-game stretch and the offense racked up 510 yards to Charlotte’s 256 yards. Charlotte was able to find some success, particularly on the ground, but IU’s double-whammy of a touchdown to end the first half and another one to begin the second half put the game out of reach and allowed Indiana to play second and third-stringers for the final 20 minutes of the contest.

The Indiana Hoosiers have not played in the Rose Bowl since 1968. Tonight’s game was not the New Year’s bowl game so often associated with Pasadena but the Rose Bowl venue hosted the Big Ten opener for the UCLA Bruins and IU’s return to the West Coast was eye-opening. Indiana got off to a 21-0 start and never let up, hammering the UCLA Bruins 42-13 to improve to 3-0 on the season.

Written by: TJ Inman

The Indiana Hoosiers backed up an impressive week one performance with a dominant Friday night win over Western Illinois. In a clear sign of the influence of new head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers wasted no time taking care of business as they scored three times in the stretch of seven offensive snaps to take a 21-0 lead. Indiana never really let off the gas, racking up a program record 701 yards of offense and holding Western Illinois to only 121 in the 77-3 blowout win.
