Indiana Upsets No. 2 Oregon 30-20 at Autzen, Ending Ducks' 18-Game Home Streak

Coach Curt Cignetti calls it a step forward, redirecting attention to Michigan State.

Overview

  • Indiana improved to 6-0 and rose to No. 7 nationally, moving to 3-0 in Big Ten play.
  • Quarterback Fernando Mendoza went 20-for-31 for 215 yards, rebounding from a pick-six to engineer a 12-play go-ahead drive finished by Elijah Sarratt’s 8-yard touchdown.
  • The defense closed the game with two late interceptions, with six sacks reported by one outlet as part of the pressure throughout the night.
  • The result snapped Oregon’s 18-game home winning streak at Autzen Stadium under coach Dan Lanning.
  • Cignetti rejected the notion of a program-defining victory and shifted focus to hosting Michigan State, which was 3-3 at the time of reporting.
