Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke did something no Hoosier football player has done since 2020 - the signal-caller was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week. Rourke earned the honor after his star turn in Indiana's 42-13 victory at UCLA on Saturday.

Saturday night was supposed to be a showcase game for UCLA. It was the Bruins' first game in the Big Ten with it being nationally-televised in prime time from the Rose Bowl. Instead, it was Kurtis Rourke and Indiana who made an emphatic statement.

Kurtis Rourke was excellent for IU with 307 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. Justice Ellison ran for 47 yards on 10 carries and a score. Miles Cross led the receivers with 90 yards and 6 catches. Aiden Fisher had 9 total tackles for IU.
