Career day in season finale Rourke completed 23 of 31 passes for 349 yards and six touchdowns during Saturday's 66-0 victory versus Purdue.

Impact Rourke and the Indiana offense put on a show on a day in which the Hoosiers clearly were looking for style points to secure a spot in the upcoming College Football Playoff. The senior quarterback threw six touchdowns for the first time in his career as the Hoosiers completely embarrassed their in-state rival in a 66-0 shellacking. It was a transcendant season for the Hoosiers as they won 11 games for the first time in program history, with Rourke leading the way in his first season at the Power-4 level after transferring from Ohio in the off-season. Rourke finished the regular season with 2,827 yards and 27 touchdowns to just four interceptions through 11 games while adding a pair of rushing scores as well. A first round matchup in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff likely awaits Rourke and the Hoosiers as they look to continue their dream season.
