Indiana didn’t just win the Rose Bowl — the Hoosiers made a national statement.

On one of college football’s biggest stages, #1 Indiana dominated #9 Alabama 38–3, controlling the game from the opening snap and never allowing the Crimson Tide to find rhythm. It was a performance built on discipline, physicality, execution, and championship-level focus.

In this episode of Hoosier Tailgate Live, Coach Griff breaks down the Rose Bowl victory from a coach’s perspective — diving into the offensive execution, the defensive clinic, the key turning points, and why this win reshaped Indiana’s national perception.

We also discuss Indiana’s transfer portal momentum, as the Hoosiers continue to add key pieces to a roster built for sustained success, and turn the page toward what’s next — a Peach Bowl showdown in Atlanta against Oregon.

This wasn’t just a win.

It was a message.
