Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke will return on Saturday against Michigan State, head coach Curt Cignetti announced Thursday, according to Michael Niziolek of The Herald-Times.
"Kurtis Rourke will start and play the game," Cignetti said.
Rourke battled a thumb injury that he sustained against Nebraska on Oct. 19. He missed last week's win over Washington and was replaced by Tayven Jackson.
Rourke has put on a show this season, completing 74.6% of his passes for 1,941 yards and 15 touchdowns against just three interceptions. He's also scored two TDs on the ground while helping Indiana start the season 8-0.
