• Indiana's captains were AJ Barner, Devon Matthews, Tiawan Mullen and Jack Tuttle.
• Cincinnati won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. Indiana received the opening kickoff.

The list includes quarterback Connor Bazelak, wide receiver Cam Camper, wide receiver Andison Coby, offensive lineman Parker Hanna, outside linebacker Myles Jackson, outside linebacker Dasan McCullough, offensive lineman Caleb Murphy, defensive lineman Beau Robbins and running back Shaun Shivers.

• In the second half, Indiana's defense only allowed seven points and 71 yards of total offense.
• Indiana set a school record for plays in a game at 104. The previous record was 101 (Louisville, 1985; Iowa, 2005).
