Indiana football initial analysis vs. North Texas
The Hoosiers are, to a significant degree, starting over as they try to back up the most unlikely season in college football history. Coach Curt Cignetti brought in transfers quarterback Josh Hoover , wide receiver Nick Marsh and running back Turbo Richard to power the offense. The stout defense will see a former IU quarterback on the other side of the line as Tayven Jackson has been named the Mean Green's QB1.
