Overview

• A fourth-quarter swing decided it: Brandon Finney Jr. returned an interception for a tying Oregon touchdown, Fernando Mendoza answered with a 12-play drive capped by an 8-yard score to Elijah Sarratt, and Louis Moore’s interception set up the clinching field goal before Isaiah Jones added a final pick.
• Mendoza went 21-of-31 for 215 yards with one touchdown and one interception, Sarratt caught eight passes for 121 yards and the go-ahead score, and Roman Hemby rushed for 70 yards with two TDs.
• Indiana’s defense sacked Dante Moore six times, held Oregon to 267 total yards, and intercepted the Ducks’ quarterback twice in the closing minutes.
• The victory ended Oregon’s 18-game home winning streak and snapped Indiana’s 46-game skid against AP top-5 opponents, marking the Hoosiers’ first road win over a top-5 team.
• Indiana improved to 6-0 (3-0 Big Ten) and enhanced its Big Ten and College Football Playoff positioning, while Oregon fell to 5-1 (2-1) with its first Big Ten defeat and reduced margin for error in the conference race.
