Pack. The. Rock. And the Hoosiers fans certainly did. Convincingly. The Indiana Hoosiers just secured their seventh straight victory of the season on Saturday with a dominant 56-7 win over Nebraska. And it wasn’t just a sold-out game at the Memorial Stadium; it was the program’s first sellout since 2021 with a home crowd of 53,082 fans, the fourth-highest attended game in program history!

“I noticed ’em,” Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said, after the game. “…There’s a lot of excitement a lot of places, which is awesome. I could tell they were really loud.” But looks like that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

At this point in time, barring just one home game against Michigan State, the next two home games against Washington on Saturday, Michigan (Nov 9), and the season-finale against Purdue (Nov 9), SOLD OUT! Four sell-out games, a program record which is a combined total of sell-outs from 2016-2023! HC Curt Cignetti hailed the historic moment shortly after the Week 7 game, “You keep winning; people are going to come.”

As college football season gets intense week after week, ESPN’s College GameDay is all set to visit Bloomington for Indiana football’s noon matchup. According to IDS News, the show will be hosted by Rece Davis, alongside analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, and former Indiana head coach Lee Corso. The hype is intense, and as the Popular GameDay co-host, Pat McAfee was certainly tempted to get a bite from the HC himself.

And how does McAfee introduce the star coach? “Ladies and gentlemen, you can Google him, the only thing that’s going to pop up is a very Italian name and his record and guess what it does? It says that this motherf—– wins.”

After all, the last time McAfee met Cignetti (last year), the 63-year-old used to head coach the football program at the James Madison University who, at that point in time, was on a 10-0 high!

McAfee began, “I’m so grateful you stopped by. Obviously, GameDay has all eyes on Bloomington. And if that was the case, we’d be so incredibly lucky to get a chance to experience Bloomington with you at the helm of a football team that is a true, true, true dog in this 12-team playoff in the Big 10. We appreciate you, coach.”

“I hear you, bro,” Cignetti reciprocated ecstatically. He went on to offer McAfee to stay at his house. “…I’m tired. I got to fly to Eugene, I got to fly to Berkley, let’s not f— this up. We got to have three great days so we can get it done on Saturday and get you guys down here.”

McAfee followed up, “I appreciate that, coach. We’d love to the house too.” 

The Indiana Hoosiers have dominated their opponents so far this season, showcasing impressive performances and a strong team dynamic. However, the upcoming schedule presents a tougher challenge. Featuring home games against Washington and Michigan along with a road trip to Ohio State. It is not going to be easy. What do you think? Before that, let’s discuss their victory over Nebraska.

Justice Ellison leads the Hoosiers to their 7th victory, the best start in 57 years

Running back Justice Ellison rushed for 105 yards and scored two first-half touchdowns. His crucial contribution helped the Hoosiers secure their victory over Nebraska. While everything was going according to Cignetti’s plan, quarterback Kurtis Rourke injured his right hand, missing the entirety of the second half. Heach coach flagged it as a precautionary move after the game. Tayven Jackson stepped in his place.

ESPN reported HC’s statement on quarterback Rourke’s injury, “A little thumb thing; I feel good about it; I really do,” he added. “It was precautionary (to take him out).”

The Indiana Hoosiers have won all four Big Ten games. Did you know it is the biggest win in their conference since they beat Minnesota 49-0 in 1945? Not only that, but this is the first time the Hoosiers have started a season with seven back-to-back wins since 1967. We have good news for HC Curt Cignetti’s well-wishers, winning his first seven games with the team.

The Indiana Hoosiers have shown impressive dominance over their opponents this season, but the upcoming games will be a tougher test, and even fortune favors them. What do you think? Will they be able to maintain their winning streak, or will Washington put a full stop to it?
