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 week game six at Oregon, IU’s biggest test of the young season.
The Hoosiers went blow for blow with one of the best teams in the country. Oregon came up with several big moments that put pressure on Curt Cignetti’s team, including a long touchdown pass in the first quarter and a pick six early in the fourth quarter. But Indiana got right back up every time. The Hoosiers answered both of those touchdowns on their next drive, with touchdowns of their own — and they answered a third quarter Oregon field goal with another score.
IU finished the game with six sacks and four QB hurries. Linebacker Isaiah Jones recorded one of each, and added a second tackle for loss. Linebacker Aiden Fisher and defensive end Kellan Wyatt each posted a team-high 1.5 sacks. Bryant Haines’ defense was persistent all day, putting frequent pressure on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore. It played a huge role in the outcome.
Indiana’s playmakers came up the biggest. Roman Hemby and Kaelon Black wore down the UO defense and Hemby punched in two short-yardage touchdowns. Fernando Mendoza orchestrated so many clutch drives and big moments. Elijah Sarratt got open in those big spots and made things happen.
