Curt Cignetti has the Indiana football program in uncharted waters.
Following an eye-opening victory in Eugene over then-No. 3 Oregon, the Hoosiers find themselves as the third-ranked team in the latest AP poll. That's the highest ranking in program history, in advance of Saturday's home date with unranked Michigan State.
Such continues an impressive Year 2 for Cignetti, whose team looks even better than the one that waltzed to an improbable College Football Playoff berth a year ago.
Quarterback Fernando Mendoza — with 17 touchdowns and just two interceptions on the year — keys a high-powered offense. His favorite target is wideout Elijah Sarratt, who is coming off consecutive games with at least 100 receiving yards.
The Spartans will have their hands full as they try to snap a three-game losing streak. They're also vying for their first conference victory of the season, which, in this case, would have to come in epic fashion.
