The No. 9 Illinois Fighting Illini, led by quarterback Luke Altmyer, face the No. 19 Indiana Hoosiers, led by quarterback Fernando Mendoza, on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025 at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington,

BLOOMINGTON— Receiver Elijah Sarratt is feeling the urge to go shopping again for a more tangible reward than just saying thank you to the Indiana football team’s offensive line.

Indiana football reported over 56,000 stands attended Saturday night's 63-10 win over Illinois inside Memorial Stadium, setting a new program record.

Both teams enter tonight's matchup with perfect 3-0 records as they face off in Bloomington at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

Iowa is by no means a rollover, but the stakes of this contest pale in comparison to the repercussions of Indiana’s outing against Illinois. Curt Cignetti’s ability to rally his troops, and inspire them in a similar manner ahead of this Week 5 game will be imperative in ensuring the Hoosiers aren’t upset.

The Sooners sacked former OU quarterback Jackson Arnold nine times and John Mateer rallied the home team midway through the fourth quarter for a 24-17 win against Auburn. The Sooners defense is elite (9 points per game), and the offense can beat teams on the ground and through the air. Might OU sneak up on everyone and win the SEC?

Indiana has spent coach Curt Cignetti's entire two-year tenure hearing doubters question how good his Hoosiers really were.
