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 seven, at home against Michigan State.
Indiana was coming off a massive top-5 road win. They fell behind early against Michigan State. They struggled to stop Michigan State’s offense early. And there was a weather delay. But in the end? Total dominance by the Hoosiers.
IU scored touchdowns on their first five drives of the game. They kicked a field goal on their seventh. The only thing that stopped IU from scoring on drive six was a decision to go for it on fourth down from the MSU 7. The Hoosiers moved the ball at will, amassing 464 yards in less than 29 minutes of possession. Fernando Mendoza was surgical through the air, completing 24 of 28 passes for 332 yards and four touchdowns.
And IU figured things out on defense during the second quarter and into halftime. The Hoosiers pitched a shutout after the break until a meaningless last minute field goal. MSU had 13 and 12 play scoring drives on their first two chances, but were held scoreless on their next five.
