Indiana officially announces Kurtis Rourke as starter

Curt Cignetti officially announces Kurtis Rourke as IU’s starting QB this weekend

As was speculated earlier in the day, Indiana Kurtis Rourke has been announced as the Hoosiers starting quarterback for their game against Michigan State inside of Spartan Stadium this weekend. Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti made the announcement on Thursday night during his weekly radio show.

Rourke didn’t play last week after he received surgery for a thumb injury he suffered against Nebraska.

The Ohio transfer has gone 135/181 for 1,941 yards, 15 touchdowns and 3 interceptions this season, a year in which Indiana has yet to suffer defeat.
