• The Hoosiers are 40-27-1 all-time as a ranked team, which includes a 17-18 record on the road and a 33-20-1 mark in Big Ten play.

• Indiana starts a season 9-0 for the second time in program history (2024) and ties for the second-most wins in program history (9; 1945, 1967).

• The 6-0 start in Big Ten play marks the second time in program history an Indiana team started with an unblemished mark through at least six conference games (7-0; 2024) and ties for second-most conference wins ever (6; 1967, 1987, 2020).

• The 45-point margin of victory is tied for the third-largest road win in program, with three coming in Big Ten play. IU went on the road and defeated Fort Knox by 51 points in 1942, Minnesota by 49 in 1945 and Purdue by 45 in 1988.

• Indiana's 55 points scored are its fourth-most in a road game in program history and its most since the program record in 1988 at Wisconsin (63). It also scored 58 points at Kentucky in 1969 and 59 points at Kentucky in 1994.

• With 55 points, Indiana has topped the 50-point mark for the eighth time since the start of 2024 and the 24th time in program history.

Offense
• Time of possession of 40:22 marks the fourth-highest total overall and most in a road game for Indiana since at least 1991, behind 2010 Michigan (41:47), 2005 Kentucky (41:37) and 2025 Old Dominion (41:28). It is also just the sixth such occurrence in that span, adding 2005 at Iowa (40:09) and 1991 at Minnesota (40:02).

• Indiana's 35 second-half points are tied for the fourth most in a Big Ten game since 1950 and the most since 38 against Purdue (38) in 2024.

• It is the third-highest scoring half in a road game (since 1950) behind 2001 Wisconsin (45) and 2012 UMass (38).

• Indiana rushed for multiple touchdowns for the 18th time in 22 games under head coach Curt Cignetti.

• With 367 yards rushing, Indiana posted its program-record fifth game of the season with 300-plus yards rushing. It opened the season with four-straight 300-yard efforts on the ground, the most by a Power 4 team since 2015 (Baylor).

Defense
• With 37 yards rushing allowed, Indiana limited its eighth-straight opponent under 100-yards rushing - a program record. The effort also ties the program mark for most games with an opponent under 100 yards rushing in a single season in program history.

• The 256 yards of total offense for Maryland mark the seventh game in 2025 that IU limited the opposition to fewer than 300 yards of total offense to tie the program record (1989, 1991, 2024).

• The five turnovers forced (3 FR, 2 INT) are tied for the most in a game since a six-turnover game at Iowa in 2009.

• Its three forced fumbles are tied for the most in a single game since it had four forced fumbles at Minnesota in 2018. IU also forced three fumbles against Illinois in the 2022 season opener.
