Curt Cignetti has already accomplished a long list of firsts in two seasons at Indiana, and on Saturday he can check off another box.

Indiana is just 2-25 against Penn State all-time, and it has never won at Beaver Stadium. The Hoosiers came close in Tom Allen's final season, tying the game with 2:58 in the fourth quarter before giving up a late touchdown and safety in a 33-24 loss.

That gives Cignetti and the No. 2 Hoosiers a chance to make history on Saturday against Penn State at Noon ET in University Park, Pa., where they'll look to keep their undefeated season alive and further solidify a second straight College Football Playoff bid.
