Backup quarterback Grant Wilson led No. 4 Indiana to a 23-16 overtime victory over Minnesota after entering in the second half for the injured Josh Hoover. Wilson threw a 25-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime, and the Indiana defense sealed the win by sacking Drake Lindsey on fourth down. The game featured a dramatic finish, with Minnesota taking a 16-13 lead on a 60-yard field goal by Luke Drzewiecki with 19 seconds left.
Indiana responded with a 33-yard catch by Becker to set up a 60-yard field goal by Paddy Mc Ateer as time expired, tying the score. This marked only the second time in Big Ten history that multiple 60-yard field goals were made in a single game. Indiana improved to 8-1 overall and 5-1 in Big Ten play, while Minnesota dropped to 5-3 and fell to 0-13 against defending national champions.
Coach Curt Cignetti praised Wilson's performance and the team's resilience, while P. J. Fleck expressed disappointment despite his team's effort.
