After a masterful performance at UCLA, Kurtis Rourke is the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the week.
In his first road Big Ten game, Rourke threw for 307 yards on 25-of-33 passing with four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Rourke’s 300 yards passing and 25 completions were the most by a Hoosier since 2022, and the four touchdown passes were the most by an Indiana signal caller since 2020 when Michael Penix did it at Ohio State.
The Ohio transfer went 9-for-9 passing on third down for 128 yards, with six passes going for a first down and two for touchdowns.
Rourke led four drives of 75 yards or more, and helped Indiana to its largest margin of victory over a Big Ten opponent since 2019, and its largest margin of victory in a Big Ten road game since 2001.
The product of Ontario, Canada is the first Indiana Offensive Player of the Week since Stevie Scott (Nov. 30, 2020), and the first IU quarterback to win the honor since Nate Sudfeld in Week 13 of the 2015 season.
