BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After earning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance at UCLA, Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke got off to a strong start on Saturday against Charlotte.

Rourke dropped in a 37-yard completion to Myles Price, then hit Elijah Sarratt on a back-shoulder throw for a 29-yard completion to the Charlotte three-yard line.

And after a Charlotte pass interference penalty, Indiana running back Justice Ellison punched in a two-yard touchdown run. Here are the highlights from the eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive.
