Kurtis Rourke threw three touchdowns to help Indiana secure its best start in almost six decades with a 42-28 win over Big Ten-rival Maryland on a rainy Saturday in Bloomington, Ind.

Six different players scored touchdowns for the Hoosiers, who are 5-0 for the first time since 1967. Indiana is 2-0 in conference play.

Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper Jr. and Donaven McCulley each caught a score from Rourke, who finished 22 of 33 for 359 yards and two interceptions. Justice Ellison, Myles Price and Ty Son Lawton each added a rushing touchdown.

The Hoosiers outgained the Terrapins 510-401 and overcame four turnovers.

Billy Edwards Jr. completed 26 of 41 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns for Maryland (3-2, 0-2), which had won three straight against Indiana.

Terrapins receiver Kaden Prather caught five passes for 66 yards and a touchdown. Roman Hemby scored on a 75-yard run and had a game-high 117 rushing yards on 10 carries. Hemby also caught a 12-yard touchdown to close the scoring.

Tai Felton managed five catches for 38 yards in limited action for Maryland as he sat most of the second half with an unspecified injury. Felton entered Saturday third in Division I with 604 receiving yards.

Prather had a 30-yard touchdown catch overturned with the Terrapins trailing 35-21 in the fourth quarter. Maryland failed on fourth down three plays later with 8:07 left.

Lawton iced the win on a 14-yard run at the 4:09 mark.

Indiana went up two scores with 12:24 left on McCulley's 12-yard score, his only catch of the game.

The Hoosiers entered the fourth quarter ahead 28-21 after both teams scored two touchdowns in the third.

The Terrapins pulled even at 14 when Dylan Wade tipped a pass to himself for an acrobatic 6-yard touchdown catch. Ellison responded with a 19-yard run on Indiana's ensuing drive before Hemby raced 75 yards on Maryland's next play.

Rourke hit Sarratt for a 13-yard score with 40 seconds left in the quarter.

The Hoosiers outgained Maryland 237-110 in the first half but led just 14-7 after committing three turnovers.

After Rourke was intercepted on Indiana's first two drives, Price delivered the game's first score on a 1-yard run to open the second quarter.

Maryland responded when Edwards connected with Prather for a 33-yard score. Cooper caught a 27-yard touchdown with 38 seconds left in the half.
