Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 Indiana Hoosiers football team represented Indiana University Bloomington during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Hoosiers were led by first-year head coach Curt Cignetti. They played home games at Memorial Stadium located in Bloomington, Indiana as members of the Big Ten Conference.

This season marked the first time Indiana hosted a Saturday College GameDay in school history, doing so in a game against Washington.[1] Following a 20–15 home win against Michigan on Week 11, the Hoosiers achieved the first 10-win season in program history, as well as their first 7-win season in conference play. Their 10-game winning streak was snapped in Week 13 after a 38–15 road loss to No. 2 Ohio State. Indiana qualified for the College Football playoff for the first time in school history, which also marks their first ever appearance in a BCS or CFP/NY6 bowl game, where they were defeated in the first round by Notre Dame in the first meeting between the schools since 1991, 27–17.

No. 16/18 Indiana came into the game against Nebraska as 6.5-point favorites. The Hoosiers also played host to Fox Big Noon Kickoff. Indiana opened the scoring with two touchdowns before Nebraska scored one of their own. 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. 13/13 Indiana came into the Battle for the Old Brass Spittoon as 7.5-point favorites over Michigan State. Starting quarterback Kurtis Rourke returned from injury after having surgery on his throwing thumb. Spartans kicker Jonathan Kim opened up the scoring, hitting a 47-yard field goal. This marked the first time all season that the Hoosiers have trailed. Aidan Chiles would connect with Nick Marsh on the issuing possession for an 18-yard touchdown to put the Spartans ahead 10–0 going into the second quarter. Indiana would not let them score the rest of the game. After scoring three straight touchdowns in the second to put them ahead 21–10 going into halftime, the Hoosiers added to the total, scoring 47 unanswered points to beat the Spartans 47–10. The Hoosiers improved their undefeated start, moving to a program record 9–0 (6–0). Their 6–0 conference record matched the 1967, 1987, and 2020 seasons for most conference wins in program history. This also marked the first time Indiana had won nine straight games. The Hoosiers held Michigan State to –36 rushing yards which set a program record for lowest rushing total allowed. This was also the seventh time Indiana scored 40+ points in a game this season, which set another program record.

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.
