BLOOMINGTON -- The Michael Penix Jr. era at Indiana appears to have run its course.

SOUTH BEND — The Legends Trophy will be up for grabs once again on Saturday when No. 6 Notre Dame (10-1) looks to wrap up its impressive regular season with a convincing victory over Stanford (3-8) in Palo Alto, California (8 p.m. ET, FOX).

When the season began, Indiana was the trendy pick to challenge Ohio State for the Big Ten East division title, while Purdue was picked near the bottom of the Big Ten West standings. Fast-forward three months later and the fortunes of both programs have gone in opposite directions.

BLOOMINGTON – Shortly after Indiana suffered another disheartening loss, falling 35-14 to Minnesota on Senior Day at Memorial Stadium, a potential quarterback controversy arose heading into IU’s season finale at rival Purdue.
