With his team trailing 10-0 to FCS foe Idaho, Shaun Shivers took the handoff on IU’s first offensive play of the second half, saw an opening to his left, and turned on the jets. Then the first defender he encountered, 11 yards past the line of scrimmage, felt Shivers’ rage.  The fifth-year senior back lowered his left shoulder and blasted through Vandals safety Tommy McCormick, who went along for the ride for about four yards before falling helplessly to the turf. By the time Idaho got Shivers down 31 yards later, the tone had been set for the second half. …

Indiana has a chance to open the season 2-0 on Saturday evening when it hosts Idaho for the second straight season. The Hoosiers will be looking to avoid a let down after an emotional 23-20 season opening win a week ago, and they’ll get an FCS Vandals squad that turned some heads by nearly pulling off an upset of Washington State. We know much more about these 2022 Hoosiers going into week two, including the composure of starting quarterback Connor Bazelak, new offensive coordinator Walt Bell’s up-tempo offense, and the return of an aggressive ball-hawking defense as Tom Allen took…
