The Indiana Hoosiers find themselves in the top 25 of the college football rankings and off to their best start in 57 years. IU is 5-0 after beating Maryland Saturday, Sept. 28 at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers beat the Terrapins by two touchdowns, the closest game IU has played while piling up points this season. Indiana is ranked 23rd in the AP college football poll. New Coach Curt Cignetti is the first in IU football history to win his first five games. Before Saturday's game, Cignetti sent an email to IU students asking them to show up and stay until the end of the game. When they did — even through some lousy weather — he sent another email thanking them. “The weather wasn't great. The football wasn't perfect, but you were yesterday. I asked you to come out and deal with the elements and to put your weekend events on hold and be there for all four quarters. You did it,” the email from Cignetti read, in part.
