  "account": "In the fourth quarter of a game against Nebraska, Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover pulled off two touchdown passes against the defending national champion Huskers. The Hoosiers pulled off a 20-17 victory at Memorial Stadium, securing their place as the number one team in the Big Ten. The win extended Indiana's win streak to 21 games as the defending champions, and the Huskers remain on a 31-game losing streak against top-25 opponents. Indiana's Josh Hoover delivered a clutch performance, throwing for 263 yards and two touchdowns, including a crucial 75-yard pass to Nick Marsh in the closing moments of the game. The Hoosiers defense also stepped up, with Stephen Daley recording two sacks and eight tackles for loss. Nebraska's Anthony Colandrea's attempt to match Fernando Mendoza's 2025 Heisman Trophy-winning performances fell short, as he finished the game 8 of 16 for 93 yards. The Indiana defense's efforts, including a key play preventing a Nebraska touchdown at halftime, proved instrumental in their victory. This win puts Indiana in a strong position for the upcoming week's game against No. 4 Ohio State, with all their remaining games being highly favorable.",
