Indiana started its season with a 52-16 victory over North Texas on September 5, 2026, at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. Despite being out-gained by the Mean Green well into the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers secured the win to extend head coach Curt Cignetti’s active winning streak to 17 games. Quarterback Josh Hoover led the Indiana offense by completing 13 of 16 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns. Nick Marsh recorded an early one-handed touchdown catch, and Lee Beebe Jr. contributed a long return on the opening kickoff to set up early scoring. While the defense forced a turnover on downs, the team looks to address defensive consistency and general execution as it shifts focus toward preparations for next week's opponent.
