Michigan State

 





Another rivalry between the Hoosiers and the Spartans dating back to 1950.

The day prior Curt Cignetti signed an extension to his contract for $11.2 million making him the third highest paid coach in the country. What precipitated the move was the firing of Penn State coach James Franklin who was fired after going 0-3 in the Big Ten. The extension would keep Cignetti in Bloomington for the foreseeable future.

The Hoosiers would climb to #3 nationally, the highest placement in program history and would walk away with a 38-13 Homecoming victory to reach 7-0 for the season.

Fernando Mendoza would pass for 24/28 and four touchdowns while Kealon Black would rush for 64 yards on ten carries and a score.
