The Indiana Hoosiers defeated the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday 42-28 to improve to 5-0 on the season. Entering the game, Indiana and Maryland were both unranked entering this football game.
Indiana Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti is largely responsible for turning this football program around. He was the head coach of the James Madison Dukes a season ago. Cignetti was successful with James Madison for many years and his fingerprints are showing with this Hoosiers football program.
Indiana Hoosiers Fans Explode After Being Ranked 23 In the AP Top 25 Poll
It was only a matter of time when the Indiana Hoosiers were going to be ranked in the AP Top 25. College football is a better place when there are underdogs stories like this with Indiana so far this season. Here are what some of the fans had to say about it:
NEVER DAUNTED, WE CAN NOT FALTER.
IN THE BATTLE, WE’RE TRIED & TRUE.
INDIANA, WE’RE ALL FOR YOU!

“Eliminating the noise and the clutter, focusing on what’s going to help you get to the point where you can perform to the best of your ability on Saturday, the preparation part, the physical and mental preparation.” 🚬🔴⚪️
Forget about yesterday-focus on tomorrow #NeverDaunted

The next game for the Indiana Hoosiers will be against the Northwestern Wildcats on the road this weekend. It will be interesting to see how Indiana responds with being a Top 25 team in the country now.
Potential Collison Course With the Michigan Wolverines On November 9
There is a world where the Indiana Hoosiers could be undefeated when they face the #10 Michigan Wolverines on November 9 at Indiana University Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana. The game time for that date has yet to be announced and it could very well be a primetime matchup.
There is a chance that Michigan could still only have one loss on the season. This game would have huge college football playoff implications between Indiana and Michigan. The Wolverines won it all a season ago. This would be the Hoosiers biggest challenge to date.
