Indiana improves to 5-0 for 1st time since 1967 with 42-28 victory over Maryland

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Kurtis Rourke threw for a season-high 359 yards and three touchdowns Saturday, and the Indiana defense came up with stop after stop over the final 22 minutes as Indiana defeated Maryland 42-28 for its first 5-0 start since 1967. Despite committing four turnovers — their first four all season — the defense allowed just one TD over the final 22 minutes and Rourke rebounded from two first-half interceptions to help Indiana top the 30-point for the fifth straight game, their longest streak since 2000. Maryland suffered its first loss to the Hoosiers since 2020 despite getting three TD passes from Billy Edwards Jr. and a season-best 75-yard TD run from Roman Hemby. Big block Umpire James Shaw III took a big shot in the third quarter when he inadvertently blocked an Indiana defender trying to tackle Hemby in the hole on his long touchdown run.
