No. 6 Indiana opened its title defense with a commanding 52-16 victory over North Texas, as quarterback Josh Hoover delivered an impressive performance in his first career start for the Hoosiers.12 Hoover completed 13 of 16 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns without turning the ball over, demonstrating the precision that coach Curt Cignetti said helped him earn his teammates' respect.12 Despite suffering a broken nose after being grabbed by the facemask by North Texas defensive lineman Udoka Ezeani, Hoover remained in the game and showcased the toughness needed to lead the defending national champions.2
The offensive attack was well-distributed throughout the contest. Running back Turbo Richard rushed 15 times for 58 yards and caught one pass for 38 yards, scoring twice.1 Wide receiver Charlie Becker recorded four receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns, including connecting twice with Hoover.1 North Texas offered little resistance, with quarterback Tayven Jackson completing 22 of 28 passes for 192 yards and one interception, while running back Jahiem White managed 14 carries for 61 yards and seven receptions for 36 yards with one score.1
The lopsided performance extended Indiana's conference-leading winning streaks.1 The Hoosiers improved to 17 consecutive victories in conference play and extended their home winning streak to 16 games, both division records.1 Indiana suffered injuries to running back Khobie Martin, defensive back A.J. Harris, and defensive back Jamari Sharpe during the first half.1 Hoover, a transfer from Texas Christian University, took over the position previously held by Fernando Mendoza, who was selected first overall in the 2025 draft after winning the Heisman Trophy.2
