Indiana Football On Historic Run
Indiana football fans in Kentuckiana celebrated a historic victory over Alabama in the Rose Bowl, with cheers filling bars and restaurants.
The Hoosiers’ win was a source of joy for lifelong supporters who never thought they would see such success. Second-year head coach Curt Cignetti was credited for the team’s turnaround, as Indiana’s unbeaten football season felt surreal to fans of a program traditionally known for basketball. Even rival fans got caught up in the excitement, with one Alabama supporter admitting to cheering for Indiana until kickoff.
The Hoosiers (and fans) are looking forward to the Peach Bowl on Jan. 9 for a CFP semifinal rematch with fifth-seeded Oregon, which routed Texas Tech 23-0 earlier Thursday in the Orange Bowl. Indiana beat the then-No. 3 Ducks 30-20 in Eugene last October in one of Cignetti’s most impressive Big Ten victories.
Indiana is two wins away from the first national championship in school history!
