The program
Overview
For most of its history Indiana ranked among the least successful programs in major college football, with John Pont's 1967 Rose Bowl team a rare highlight. That changed dramatically under Curt Cignetti, hired after the 2023 season: the Hoosiers reached the College Football Playoff in 2024, and in 2025 they went 16-0, won the national championship and saw quarterback Fernando Mendoza win the school's first Heisman Trophy.
