Indiana Hoosiers:
The Hoosiers improved to 4-0 with a dominant 63-10 win over then No. 9 Illinois last Saturday. It was Indiana’s largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in program history and its 12th consecutive win at home.
Redshirt junior QB Fernando Mendoza completed 21-of-23 with 267 passing yards and five touchdowns. The Miami, Florida native, who transferred after three seasons at the University of California, Berkley, is currently the Heisman favorite. Mendoza leads the FBS with 16 touchdowns and has zero turnovers this season.
“I’ve gone into a good routine here where I’m trusting my preparation, I know what’s going to work, I know how it’s going to pay off,” said Mendoza after the win.
Junior DB D’Angelo Ponds praised Mendoza’s performance:
“[It’s] his knowledge and his IQ of the game. He can tell what coverage you’re in, even if you’re disguising. I feel like his IQ of the game is very high, so that’s what sets him apart.”
The Hoosiers, led by second-year head coach Curt Cignetti, enter Week 5 leading the FBS in point differential at +186.
Iowa Hawkeyes:
The Hawkeyes are coming off a 38-28 road victory over Rutgers last Friday. Graduate QB Mark Gronowski finished 12-of-18 for 186 passing yards and added 55 rushing yards with three touchdowns on the ground.
The South Dakota State transfer leads the team in rush attempts (46) and rush touchdowns (6).
While the Hawkeyes’ ground game has been a success — gaining at least 130 yards in every game this season — their passing game is still a work in progress. Iowa is currently ranked last in the Big Ten with 137 passing yards per game.
