BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Curt Cignetti era of Indiana football is off to a strong start, but the difficulty level will continue to rise with Big Ten play the rest of the season.

The Hoosiers are 4-0 with wins over Florida International, Western Illinois, UCLA and Charlotte by an average of over 40 points. Next up, they host a 3-1 Maryland team, which has won three straight games against Indiana and has won at least seven games in each of the last three seasons.

"They got a lot of talent," Cignetti said. "They're a good football team. They're very well coached. Will be a tremendous challenge."

The Hoosiers and Terrapins both rank top-20 nationally in total passing yards this season, but there may be an additional obstacle as rain is currently forecasted for Saturday afternoon in Bloomington. With a win, Indiana would have its first 5-0 start since the 1967 season, when it made the Rose Bowl.
