(Atlanta, GA) – Indiana’s storybook season keeps rolling — and now the Hoosiers are one win away from a national championship.
Indiana Hoosiers delivered a dominant performance Friday night, overwhelming the Oregon Ducks 56–22 in the Peach Bowl to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff title game.
Indiana wasted no time taking control. On Oregon’s opening snap, the Hoosiers picked off the first pass of the night and returned it for a touchdown, setting the tone for what quickly became a one-sided semifinal. Indiana scored on five of its first six possessions and carried a 35–7 lead into halftime, leaving little doubt about which team belonged on college football’s biggest stage.
The Hoosiers’ offense was clinical from start to finish, spreading the ball to multiple playmakers while striking repeatedly through the air and on the ground. The defense matched that intensity, forcing turnovers, collapsing the pocket and limiting Oregon’s ability to build any sustained momentum.
By the fourth quarter, Indiana was firmly in control, turning the final minutes into a celebration for a fan base watching the most accomplished season in program history unfold.
With the win, Indiana improves to 15–0 and advances to the CFP National Championship Game, where it will face the Miami Hurricanes. Miami earned its spot earlier Thursday night with a 31–27 victory over Mississippi in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal.
Now, with one game left, Indiana stands on the brink of completing a perfect season — and claiming a national title that once seemed unimaginable.
