Indiana football rolled with a different starting quarterback in Grant Wilson Saturday. But wide receiver Charlie Becker still became a big focal point against USC without Josh Hoover. Becker delivered the dagger touchdown late in the 27-13 romp in Bloomington.

And Becker dropped a poignant message to Hoosiers nation after the win.
Becker is earning a chance to pursue an unprecedented second straight national championship. Indiana never claimed a national crown before the 2025 season. Plus the Hoosiers garnered a reputation as the team holding the most losses among NCAA teams.
He’s risen as the big bodied target for coach Curt Cignetti and IU. Becker develops a habit of making ridiculous catches off of impressive body control and adjusting to the football. But he torched USC deep to boost Indiana’s College Football Playoff chances.
Becker caught just three passes against USC, but delivered 75 yards on the evening and averaged 25 yards per catch. He’s commanding his own NFL Draft hype through his uncanny catches and rising as a trustworthy possession target.

And once again, Becker learned that Wilson was stepping in as QB right before kickoff. Hoover entered healthy enough to play, but Cignetti chose the 25-year-old Wilson behind center.

Wilson proved Indiana can move efficiently on offense without the week one starter Hoover. He delivered 17-of-27 passes for 301 yards and tossed two touchdowns with one interception. But Wilson out-dueled the more highly-touted USC QB Jayden Maiava, who tossed three interceptions including two during the fourth quarter.
Indiana moves to 9-1 overall and controls its own destiny in making it back to the Big Ten title game, plus CFP.
