Or a healthy rourkeIndiana was a very good team and THEN they got Mendoza. They had a terrific offense last year with Kurtis Rourke. In fact, Rourke's success with Cignetti played a huge role in Mendoza considering Indiana.
The 2024 team averaged 41.3 points per game and Rourke was one of the best QBs in the Big 10. This was a top 5 football team in the country.
I think Mendoza is great but Indiana would have been a very good football team with another Rourke.
Rourke played on a torn ACL and did that last year
