Indiana beat Nebraska 20-17 on October 11, 2026, erasing an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit and extending its unbeaten run to 659 days. Before the win, the Hoosiers had gone 1-120 when trailing by double digits in the fourth quarter since the start of the 2004 season. The discussion credits Indiana for knowing how to win and faults Nebraska for playing not to lose with the lead, and it now weighs the 22-game win streak against the complacency that followed Nick Saban's 19-game runs.
