About this episode

“Quarterback Josh Hoover was on fire, tossing four touchdown passes, three of them to wide receiver Charlie Becker. Becker was having a field day, racking up 81 receiving yards and nearly tying a school record for touchdown catches in a single game.”From the transcript

Indiana crushed Howard 55-0 in a lightning-fast, dominant performance that extended their FBS-record 18-game winning streak. Quarterback Josh Hoover threw for four touchdowns—three to wide receiver Charlie Becker, who racked up 81 yards and nearly tied a school record. The Hoosiers’ run game exploded with Lee Beebe Jr. and Turbo Richard each surpassing 100 yards. Indiana’s defense forced six punts and snagged an interception returned for a TD by Rolijah Hardy. With rain falling before halftime and kicker Paddy McAteer stepping in (missing one extra point), Coach Curt Cignetti’s team continues its historic run at Memorial Stadium, now 28-2 after 30 games—the second-best start in FBS history. Howard’s losing streak grows as Indiana heads into next week’s matchup against Western Kentucky.

No. Five Indiana absolutely dominated Howard on Saturday, taking them down 55 to nothing. Quarterback Josh Hoover was on fire, tossing four touchdown passes, three of them to wide receiver Charlie Becker. Becker was having a field day, racking up 81 receiving yards and nearly tying a school record for touchdown catches in a single game. The game itself was a bit of a quick one, clocking in at just 55 minutes. Both Hoover and Becker sat out the second half and the coach has even agreed to shorten the fourth quarter to 10 minutes. Indiana's run game was also strong, with Lee BB Jr. and Turbo Richard both breaking the 100 yard mark on the ground. This win keeps Indiana's impressive winning streak alive. Now at 18 games for the FPS's longest active streak and 17 at home. Coach Kurt Signetti continues his undefeated streak at Memorial Stadium, boasting a 28 and 2 record after 30 games, which is the second best start in FPS history. Howard on the other hand is struggling, dropping their second consecutive game.

The Hoosier's defense was also a major factor, forcing punts on Howard's first six drives. They put a lot of pressure on Howard's quarterback, leading to an interception return for touchdown by Raleza Hardy. Indiana's ground game in defense were areas coach Signetti wanted to see improve, and they certainly delivered in this matchup. The weather played a role too, with rain showing up just before halftime, similar to how extreme heat affected the previous game. Indiana's kicker was also out with the back injury, replaced by a patty macketeer who handled extra points but missed one. Indiana looks to keep this momentum going next Saturday when they host Western Kentucky. Stay in form with Indianapolis News today. AI-powered updates.
