LOS ANGELES — After a night of rain in Pasadena, the Indiana Hoosiers washed away the weight of history. Entering the Rose Bowl, College Football Playoff teams coming off first-round byes were winless. During their sole previous Rose Bowl appearance in 1968, the Hoosiers lost to USC. 1 Indiana rolled to a 38-3 Rose Bowl victory over No. It was the first touchdown scored by a Hoosier at the Rose Bowl in program history, the perfect way to establish Indiana's domination.
