Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke is expected to miss the No. 16 Hoosiers' game next week against Washington after injuring the thumb on his throwing hand in Saturday's 56-7 win against Nebraska.   Rourke is not expected to play vs.

The two have grown so close that after each played a half in Indiana’s most lopsided Big Ten victory since 1945, Jackson put his arm around Rourke and they walked together to the student section. And now Jackson has a chance to lead Indiana to a record-tying 8-0 start.

The Indiana Hoosiers will be without quarterback Kurtis Rourke for the foreseeable future as he is out indefinitely with a thumb injury, the school announced on Sunday. There's no timeline for Rourke's return, but the school expects him to play again in the 2024 season.
