Indiana Stays Perfect With First Win at Penn State on Mendoza's Late TD

The result underscores Curt Cignetti's rapid overhaul of the program, reinforced by his eight-year, $93 million extension.

Overview

  • Fernando Mendoza hit Omar Cooper Jr. for a last-minute touchdown to seal a 27-24 victory at Beaver Stadium.
  • The Hoosiers improved to 10-0 and maintained their standing as a top College Football Playoff contender.
  • The win marked Indiana's first-ever road triumph over Penn State in Happy Valley.
  • Cignetti's postgame remark, “This team has never played here,” and his pregame “Nothing concerns me” quote highlighted the team's mindset.
  • Indiana remains under Cignetti's long-term deal as attention turns to upcoming games against Wisconsin and Purdue.
