BLOOMINGTON — Kurtis Rourke threw for a season-high 359 yards and three touchdowns, and the Indiana Hoosiers defense shut down the Maryland Terrapins for the final 22 minutes, pulling away for a 42-28 victory Saturday.

Indiana (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) is off to its best start since 1967 and is unbeaten through its first five games for the third time in school history. The Hoosiers also have topped the 30-point mark in all five games, their longest streak since 2000.

Maryland (3-2, 0-2) suffered its first loss to the Hoosiers since 2020 despite getting three TD passes from Billy Edwards Jr. and a season-best 75-yard TD run from Roman Hemby.

Indiana never trailed on a soggy, windy day in Bloomington.

Rourke finished 22 of 33 but threw two interceptions in the first half and running back Kaelon Black lost a fumble in the first half — Indiana’s first three turnovers of the season. Elijah Sarratt caught seven passes for 128 yards and one TD.

Edwards was 26 of 41 with 289 yards while Hemby ran 19 times for 117 yards and had five catches for 48 yards.

The Hoosiers seized control late in the third quarter after Justice Ellison scored on a nifty 19-yard inside run to give Indiana a brief 21-14 lead. Hemby broke free on the next offensive snap to tie the score at 21.

Rourke broke the tie with a 13-yard TD pass to Elijah Sarratt with 40 seconds left in the third and the Hoosiers sealed the victory with a 12-yard TD pass from Rourke to Donaven McCulley. Ty Son Lawton added a 14-yard TD run to make it 42-21.

All Maryland could muster was a late 12-yard TD pass from Edwards to Hemby.

Myles Price opened the scoring for Indiana with a 1-yard TD run. Edwards tied the score with a 33-yard TD pass to Kaden Prather and the Hoosiers closed the half with back-to-back 27-yard passes from Rourke to Omar Cooper Jr. — the second a twisting catch in the end zone to make it 14-7.

Nebraska offense wakes up late to beat Purdue: Dylan Raiola threw for 257 yards and a touchdown to lead Nebraska to a 28-10 victory over Purdue in a Big Ten Conference contest Saturday afternoon.

After playing a scoreless first half and trailing 3-0 late in the third quarter, the Cornhuskers scored 28 unanswered points and kept Purdue out of the end zone until the Boilermakers scored in the final 2 minutes.

Nebraska (4-1, 1-1) took the lead at 7-3 on Raiola’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Jahmal Banks with 2:49 remaining in the third quarter.

The Cornhuskers pushed the lead to 14-3 on a fourth-down, 1-yard touchdown by Dante Dowdell with 10:34 left in the fourth quarter.

Nebraska added a 25-yard TD run by Jacory Barney Jr. and John Bullock’s 29-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Purdue (1-4, 0-1) took a 3-0 lead on Spencer Porath’s 45-yard field goal with 6:42 left in third quarter — the Boilermakers’ first field goal of the season.
