Indiana dominated Kennesaw State 56-9 in a lopsided affair at Memorial Stadium, powered by quarterback Fernando Mendoza's four touchdown passes, with three finding Elijah Sarratt. The Hoosiers' offense was relentless, scoring in every quarter and breaking the game open with a 21-point explosion in the third quarter that included Omar Cooper Jr.'s electrifying 75-yard touchdown run. While the Owls managed three field goals from Daniel Kinney, including a 50-yarder, they couldn't find the end zone as Indiana's balanced attack proved too much to handle.
