Let’s continue our look back at each of Indiana’s 16 wins in 2025 via BTN’s 60 minute condensed versions of each game. Below is the game 12 regular season finale at Purdue.
Indiana’s offense got off to a slow start, with just 54 yards in the first quarter — Purdue finished the period ahead in yardage, though IU had a 7-3 scoreboard edge. But the Hoosiers pulled away in the second quarter, racking up nearly 200 yards and scoring three touchdowns.
A big factor in Indiana taking over was its rushing attack. Purdue just had no answers for IU’s run game. 185 of the Hoosiers’ 197 second-quarter yards came on the ground, and they finished with more rushing yards (355) than Purdue had total yards (282).
Indiana’s defense gave up two extended drives to the Boilermakers: an 11-play, 67-yard series in the first quarter that led to a field goal, and a 10-play, 39-yard drive in the second quarter ending in a missed field goal. The rest of the game, outside of those two drives, IU’s defense locked down PU. The Hoosiers tallied 10 tackles for loss on the day — defensive end Stephen Daley had a monster game, with 4.5 TFLs, a sack, and a forced fumble.
