We have an official kickoff time for Indiana’s return to the field on Nov. 14 against USC.
As is the case each season, the Big Ten is rolling out kick times and television designations a couple weeks ahead of each game.
Indiana’s week ten game at home against USC will kick at 3:30 p.m. ET and air to a national audience on CBS. This marks the second straight game IU will be in this time slot on CBS.
Indiana has never defeated USC. The Trojans entered 2026 with high hopes but looked a bit vulnerable through the first eight games. But a win over Ohio State this weekend has things looking up in Los Angeles. Coming off a bye like Indiana, the Trojans (7-2, 4-2) will arrive in Bloomington with renewed hope to reach the College Football Playoff.
In addition to the win over Ohio State, USC claims Power 4 wins over Rutgers, Penn State and Washington. They’ve lost to Oregon and Wisconsin.

MCATEER EARNS BIG TEN PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS
After a program-record 60-yard field goal make against Minnesota, fifth-year kicker Paddy McAteer was tabbed Big Ten Co-Special Teams Player of the Week. The Big Ten Conference office announced McAteer and Minnesota kicker Luke Drzewiecki as co-players of the week on Monday (Nov. 2) after connecting on the first 60-plus yard field goals in the Big Ten since 2019.
Along with Drzewiecki, the duo marked the first time in college football or the NFL that both teams connected on 60-yard or longer field goals with under 30 seconds left in regulation. It was also the longest field goals made in the Big Ten since Wisconsin’s Zach Hintze in 2019.
His 60-yard field goal set the program record and tied the game at 16-16 with two seconds left in regulation. Indiana ultimately won the game, 23-16, with an overtime touchdown. The field goal broke the previous mark of 58 yards by Brendan Franke (at Oregon, 2025) and Griffin Oakes(Maryland, 2014) and tied for No. 6 in Big Ten history.
He also logged touchbacks on all four kickoffs.
McAteer is the first Indiana specialist to earn Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week since Charles Campbell in 2022. He is the 11th place kicker at IU to earn a Big Ten weekly award.
