- Grant Wilson led Indiana to an overtime win over Minnesota.

## Summary

Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti has not decided which quarterback will start against USC on Saturday, leaving the 15th-ranked Trojans preparing for an uncertain opponent. The sixth-ranked Hoosiers are seeking to respond after losing to Ohio State, their first defeat in 22 games.

Quarterback Josh Hoover injured his throwing shoulder against Ohio State but returned to play Michigan, completing 8 of 18 passes for 76 yards and throwing his first interception of the season. He was then benched against Minnesota, where Grant Wilson completed 9 of 17 passes for 156 yards and threw a 25-yard touchdown in Indiana’s 23-16 overtime win. USC also faced uncertainty at quarterback in its last game, when Ohio State started freshman Luke Fahey after Julian Sayin was injured against Indiana.
