Indiana entered the game as 7.5-point favorites over conference-foe Maryland. The game was tight at half time with Indiana clinging to a 14–7 lead, but the Terrapins were right there for most of the third quarter with both teams scoring 14 points to make it a 28–21 advantage to the Hoosiers going into the fourth quarter. Indiana would score 14 unanswered points before Maryland would find the endzone with 2:55 seconds left in the game. After a three-and-out on Indiana's next possession, Maryland would get the ball with 2:25 left in regulation. The IU defense would make a stop on fourth down giving Indiana the ball back with 1:00 left in the game. Kurtis Rourke would kneel the ball twice as Indiana came away with their first 5–0 start since 1967. Indiana also improved to 3–0 in the conference. It also marked the first time Indiana had beaten Maryland since 2020 and the first time Indiana had scored 30+ points in five straight games since 2000.

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.
