After going down by ten in the first quarter, the Hoosiers regrouped and were electric scoring 47 unanswered points and didn’t allow MSU to score again.

Hoosier Huddle's College Football Playoff and Bowl Projections November 3

The Indiana Hoosiers trailed for the first time all season on Saturday afternoon in East Lansing. The Hoosiers responded to falling behind 10-0 by scoring 47 unanswered points and demolishing the Michigan State Spartans 47-10 in a dominant road win. The victory moved IU to 9-0 for the first time in school history and IU is tied with Oregon atop the Big Ten standings. One week after projecting the Hoosiers into the College Football Playoff bracket as the number ten seed, we are moving IU up one place into the nine seed. That would put Indiana in an extremely interesting game at Notre Dame in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

Written By Nick Gonzales (@nrgonzales_)

For the first time ever since the start of Indiana’s football program 137 years ago, the Indiana Hoosiers are 9-0 and hungry for more.

Undaunted: Hoosiers Hammer Spartans 47-10 to Secure Historic 9-0 Start and Brass Spittoon

Written by: TJ Inman

There were questions about whether or not IU could win in a hostile atmosphere. Questions about Kurtis Rourke’s surgically-repaired thumb. Questions about how IU would handle Aidan Chiles. The national analysts continue to wonder whether or not IU is for real. The Indiana Hoosiers fell behind 10-0, trailing for the first time all season, before roaring to life and hammering the Michigan State Spartans in a 47-10 route. The victory gives IU the Old Brass Spittoon and the 37-point win is the largest in series history for the Hoosiers (beating the 31-0 win in Bloomington in 1991). More importantly, Indiana has a nine-game winning and is 9-0, both firsts in the long history of IU’s program.
