About the book

Commemorate Indiana’s perfect season with this coffee-table book

“It’s pretty simple,” Curt Cignetti said soon after taking over the Hoosiers. “I win. Google me.” Cignetti promised to bring a winner to Bloomington. Promise kept. Now you can relive every moment of Indiana’s first unbeaten regular season in 80 years with “PERFECT! Indiana’s Historic Rise to the Big Ten Championship.” This stunning 176-page hardcover collector’s book from the award-winning journalists at the IndyStar and Bloomington Herald-Times captures the inside story of how the Hoosiers went 12-0 in the regular season, beat Ohio State for the first time since 1988 and captured their first Big Ten title since 1967.

It’s all there: The road victory at Oregon that announced Indiana as a national contender. The dominant victory over Purdue in the 100th game with the Old Oaken Bucket at stake. The unforgettable night at Indianapolis when the Hoosiers were crowned outright Big Ten champions for the first time since 1945. And the next afternoon when Indiana rose to the top of the polls for the first time ever.

Plus: The coffee-table book will include full coverage of the College Football Playoff, wherever that takes Indiana. “PERFECT!” also will be packed with exclusive photography, behind-the-scenes access and game-by-game coverage of Fernando Mendoza, Elijah Sarratt, Roman Hemby and the team that made history and earned Cignetti his second straight conference coach of the year award.

Whether you’ve been a Hoosiers fan for decades or just witnessed the greatest era in program history, this book belongs on your coffee table. Order your copy today and own a piece of perfection.
