Indiana University’s football team is 5-0 for the first time in 57 years, after beating Maryland 42-28 on Saturday.
“I'm older than that, by the way, and this isn't the end, you know, for us,” according to first-year head coach Curt Cignetti.
Cignetti came to IU after five seasons at James Madison.
He led the Dukes to a bowl game last season – and he brought 13 of those players with him to help change the culture at Indiana.
Along with Ohio transfer quarterback Kurtis Rourke, they’ve helped IU already win more games than last year.
“We are what we are, and we have a blueprint and a plan and a philosophy of how to play the game, and it's all about people and processes,” he said. “And, you know, I think we got a chance to be good football team.”
Indiana looks to win its sixth straight game Saturday at Northwestern. It would be the second-best start to a season ever at Indiana.
The 1967 team began the year 8-0.
