What Curt Cignetti Said After No. 7 Indiana Defeated No. 3 Oregon

At Autzen Stadium, the Indiana Hoosiers football team defeated Oregon 30-20, marking their first-ever road win over a Top 5 team in 47 tries.
After a season that ended in the College Football Playoff, Indiana's win proved last year's run wasn't a fluke and positioned the program as a national title threat.
Indiana's defense pressured Oregon throughout, holding them to 14 points, 14 first downs, and 3-of-14 on third downs while Fernando Mendoza threw a go-ahead touchdown with 6:23 left.
The result left Indiana Hoosiers unbeaten at 6-0 overall and 3-0 in Big Ten play while ending Oregon Ducks' 23-game regular-season and 18-game home winning streaks.
Looking ahead to the postseason, Indiana is seen as a near-lock for the College Football Playoff, featuring Heisman Trophy candidate Fernando Mendoza while Autzen Stadium emptied early as Hoosier Nation celebrated.
