Coach Curt Cignetti's Indiana Hoosiers welcomed a tough opponent, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, to Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana and had a hard time cashing in their opportunities on offense as QB Josh Hoover didn't quite live up to his coach's expectations. Hoover was pulled amid an uneven game, reminding Cignetti of his previous comments after the Michigan game and leading to Grant Wilson's insertion into the starting lineup.

Wilson entered the game and became a caretaker of Cignetti and offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan's offense as he attempted to lead the Hoosiers down the field in a 10-7 game in favor of the Gophers.
