Indiana football achieves 55-0 victory over Howard in Bloomington

The Indiana Hoosiers secured a dominant 55-0 win against the Howard Bison on September 12, 2026, at Memorial Stadium. Despite the strong scoreline, there were concerns about Indiana's performance efficiency, particularly in the passing game, with quarterback Josh Hoover attempting only 11 passes. The disparity in opponent caliber raised questions about the effectiveness of Indiana's non-conference schedule and its potential implications for future competition, especially given the context of upcoming games, including a matchup against Ohio State. Analysts suggest that while the victory aids Indiana's momentum, it may not adequately challenge the team ahead of tougher opponents.
