How has Indiana football done historically in bowl games?

As Indiana gears up for its second straight bowl appearance, it’s time to look back at how they’ve done in past bowl games. Overall, the Hoosiers are 3-7 in their 10 bowl games.

Let’s recap this mostly sad and incredibly familiar-sounding bowl history!

1968 Rose Bowl

USC 14, Indiana 3

To this date, the first and only Rose Bowl appearance for the Hoosiers. To give you an idea of how weird the Big Ten was in 1967, Indiana tied atop the conference for first place with Purdue and Minnesota. The 9-1 Hoosiers benefited from the rule at the time where a team could not go to the Rose Bowl twice in a row - which meant Purdue couldn’t go again - and were voted in by B1G coaches over the Gophers.
