• The Hoosiers won time of possession for the 25th time in 34 games under head coach Curt Cignetti.
• Indiana posted its 14th game scoring at least 20 points in both halves. Indiana had done it just 15 times between 2000-23.
• The game marked the first time Indiana committed zero penalties and did not commit a turnover in the same game since at least 1972. In that time, IU had five games with zero penalties, most recently against Penn State at the RCA Dome in 2010.
• Indiana rushed for 329 yards for its eighth 300-yard rushing game over the last three seasons and first in 2026.
