KURTIS ROURKE NEWS

Moderate day in victory Rourke completed 17 of 28 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 20-15 victory against Michigan. He also had five rushes for -28 yards.

Impact Rourke threw a pair of touchdowns in the first half, giving the Hoosiers a 17-3 halftime lead. While the second half was a struggle for the Indiana offense, a late field goal was enough to get the job done against the Wolverines to give the Hoosiers a 10-0 record for the first time in program history. Though Rourke completed a season-low 61 percent of his passes on the day and threw for just 206 yards, he did what was necessary to lead the team to victory once again. A highly anticipated road matchup against Ohio State awaits following this week's bye.
