Indiana hosts Minnesota for homecoming football game

No. 4 Indiana is set to host Minnesota at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington for a homecoming matchup on October 31, 2026. The Hoosiers enter the game with a 7-1 record, coming off a narrow 13-6 overtime victory against Michigan. Despite their high ranking, Indiana has faced recent offensive struggles, partly due to quarterback Josh Hoover playing through an arm injury.

Minnesota arrives with a 5-2 record, bolstered by a recent win over Iowa. The Golden Gophers are characterized by a strong defense but have struggled with a consistent running game. The matchup features a significant historical advantage for Minnesota, which leads the all-time series 40-26-3 and has won the last four meetings.

In recruiting news, Minnesota recently secured a commitment from Zack Shatek, a leading high school rusher from Hastings, who decommitted from South Dakota State to stay in-state.
