The Hoosiers went into the locker room with a 28–7 lead, but their starting quarterback Kurtis Rourke sat out due to a thumb injury. Tayven Jackson stepped in and led the Hoosiers to 28 unanswered points to defeat the Cornhuskers 56–7. The 49-point victory tied the largest margin the Hoosiers had beaten a Big Ten opponent in school history which was accomplished when Indiana beat Minnesota 49–0 in 1945. Indiana's record would improve to 7–0.

No. 8/8/10 Indiana came into the game as 14.5-point favorites against Michigan, last year's national champions. Michigan's Dominic Zvada started the game with a field goal before Indiana scored a touchdown of their own to make the score 7–3 going into the second quarter. Indiana would score another touchdown and add a Nicolas Radicic field goal to go up 17–3 heading into halftime. Zvada would add two more field goals to cut the lead to 17–6 entering the fourth quarter. With a chance to tie it up, Kalel Mullings ran for a 1-yard touchdown to pull Michigan within two with 9:35 left in regulation. The Wolverines would go for two but the pass would fall incomplete. The teams would exchange punts on the next two drives, but with 2:34 left in the game, Radicic hit a 41-yard field goal to put the Hoosiers ahead by five. Michigan regained possession with 2:29 left on their 21-yard line. Davis Warren would pick up one first down on a 7-yard pass to Tyler Morris to get it to the 33-yard line before the two-minute timeout. Warren would come out of the timeout throwing three straight incompletions, setting up for a do-or-die fourth down play. Warren would complete a pass to his tight end Peyton O'Leary at the 37-yard line. O'Leary would dive for the first down at the 40-yard line, needing to make it to the 43, but would come up a yard short, turning the ball over on downs with 1:35 left in the game. After Ty Son Lawton ran for eight yards to start the drive, Michigan used their first timeout of the half hoping for a stop. On the next play, Kurtis Rourke faked the handoff and ran for a 4-yard gain to give Indiana the first down they needed to seal the game. With their 20–15 win over Michigan, Indiana increased their program-best start to 10–0 (7–0), becoming the last Big Ten team to have a 10-win season. They also set a new program record by improving to 7–0 in conference play.
