ANN ARBOR, Mich. – At each of Curt Cignetti’s head coaching stops, he has had Bryant Haines by his side. From IUP to Elon to James Madison and now the play-caller for No. 6 Indiana’s defense, Haines has followed Cignetti every step of the way. On Saturday, Haines showed why he earns $3 million annually. His defense held Michigan out of the end zone through regulation and overtime, and the Hoosiers defeated the Wolverines 13-6 at Michigan Stadium to improve to 7-1 on the season. “The offense wasn’t getting enough, so defense’s backs were against the wall…we found a way,”…

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Once again, No. 5 Indiana faced adversity in the fourth quarter, this time against No. 4 Ohio State in the first-ever top-five matchup at Memorial Stadium. Last week at Nebraska, the offense broke through when they needed to, as wide receiver Nick Marsh’s heroics led to a come-from-behind victory. On Saturday, quarterback Josh Hoover looked his way again in a do-or-die situation: a fourth-and-4 on the Buckeye 27-yard line with just over a minute to play. With an all-out blitz coming, Hoover floated a sideline pass for Marsh in the end zone. The junior hauled it in,…

LINCOLN, Neb. – It’s fourth-and-1 for No. 7 Indiana football with 7:21 left in the fourth quarter. The Hoosiers are down 17-13 to Nebraska, at the Cornhusker 44-yard line. It had been a massive struggle all game for IU. More than 85,000 screaming fans at Memorial Stadium made life very challenging for the undefeated Hoosiers through three-and-a-half quarters. Curt Cignetti backed out of going for it on the Hoosiers’ first three fourth down situations. But this time, there was no doubt. Indiana lined up in a shotgun formation, and Nebraska responded by stacking the tackle box. But the Hoosiers were…
