IU @ Northwestern


 




Northwestern is in the process of building a new stadium on the same site as the now demolished Ryan Field. Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, on the northeast side of the campus, located next to the Walters Athletics Center, the temporary outdoor stadium will take up part of the current soccer and lacrosse field Martin Stadium and an outdoor football practice field. 

IU's quarterback Kurt Rourke led the Hoosiers to a 41-24 win at Northwestern to become the nation's first bowl-eligible team in 2024.

Rourke threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns. With a 6-00 start, Indiana became the nation's first bowl-eligible team. After a turnover on downs and a punt on Indiana's first two possessions, Rourke led the Hoosiers on seven straight scoring drives before kneeling to run out the final seconds, Indiana's first in Evanston since 1993. 

It was the first Indiana Football team to soccer six straight doble digit wins since 1896!
