Indiana Crushes Nebraska, Achieves 7-0 Start

Indiana's football team delivered a crushing 56-7 defeat to Nebraska, marking Indiana's first 7-0 start since 1967 and showcasing their dominance in the Big Ten under coach Curt Cignetti. The Hoosiers exploited Nebraska's vulnerabilities, despite the Cornhuskers' previously strong defensive record, by scoring five rushing touchdowns and accumulating 496 yards of offense. Indiana's quarterback Kurtis Rourke led the team to a significant halftime lead before being sidelined with a thumb injury, allowing backup Tayven Jackson to maintain the offensive momentum. Nebraska struggled with turnovers, including three interceptions by freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, and failed to capitalize on their opportunities against a rank-defying Indiana. This defeat continues Nebraska's streak of losses against ranked opponents, highlighting a stark gap in skill and execution between the two programs.
