BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football has come a long way from Curt Cignetti having to send out emails encouraging fans to pack Memorial Stadium and stay until the clock hits zero.

The No. 2 Hoosiers (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) wrapped up a second straight undefeated season at home on Saturday with a 31-7 win over Wisconsin. With Alabama losing to Oklahoma, they have the longest active home winning streak in the FBS at 15 games.

Cignetti didn't have to prod the fan base into action this season — IU sold out its entire Big Ten schedule — and the 55,042 fans in attendance on Saturday remained in their seats the entire way through.

"We feed off of their energy," Cignetti said after the game. "I really think that us playing at home is at least a 14-point advantage."

Cignetti's comments might seem like hyperbole, but the numbers back up his statement.

The Hoosiers have beaten their opponents by an average of 37.9 points per game at Memorial Stadium during his tenure. In 2025, they have won by an average of 40.7 points at home and didn't play a single game in Bloomington decided by single digits.

They beat three teams by 50 or more points, and two of this wins came against Big Ten opponents.

"Our fans are the best in America," Cignetti said after the game. "I know everybody says that, that's got it going and packs the house, but I love our fans. I know where we started and where we are now, and they are over the top. I can't say enough good things about them."

Indiana has sold out 18 games since the stadium expanded in 1970 to hold 50,000-plus fans, and eight of those sellouts have come during Cignetti's tenure. This was only the sixth time in program history it sold out multiple home games in the same season.

"We don't know for a fact that it is our last game here at home," Cignetti said. "We hope it is. It's kind of weird to say. We'll see what happens."
