Indiana safety Louis Moore is leading the defense in a number of categories through two weeks of the 2025 season. He’s got the most tackles (14), the most interceptions (2), and he’s tied for being on the field for the most snaps (97). But Moore is also at the center of the biggest unknown facing the Hoosiers in this young Indiana season, as his eligibility to play remains in question as he pursues a lawsuit against the NCAA.  As things stand ahead of Indiana’s Friday home game against Indiana State, Moore only definitively has two games left in his college…

Multiple outlets are reporting former Indiana linebacker Micah McFadden will miss a significant portion of the 2025 season with a foot injury.  ESPN appeared to have it first. The New York Giants starter suffered the injury while tackling Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels in the season opener on Sunday. The timing of the injury couldn’t be worse for the 25-year-old McFadden, who is in a contract year and trending favorably after three years in the league. The Tampa, Fla. product started 14 games each of the previous two seasons. He amassed over 100 tackles each of the past two seasons, including…

Indiana has offered class of 2026 point guard Anthony Brown, he announced Wednesday on his social media accounts. The 6-foot-1 Brown attends Archbishop Carroll in Washington D.C.  He’s ranked a national top-70 4-star by 247Sports and ESPN. Brown is coming off a breakout Nike EYBL spring and summer season in which he averaged 18.9 points. 4.7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds while leading Team Durant to the final eight at the Peach Jam. Brown recently narrowed his list of potential colleges to ten before IU made the offer.  Those schools are Maryland, Mississippi State, Villanova, VCU, UCF, Tennessee, Memphis, Texas Tech,…

On Tuesday evening former IU baseball star Kyle Schwarber produced just the 52nd 50 home run season in Major League Baseball history. The accomplishment is a new career best for Schwarber, who prior to this year had produced six career seasons with 30-plus home runs and two seasons of 40-plus homers, topping out at 47 in 2023.  The 32-year-old is now at 334 home runs for his career. Long ball No. 50 also allowed Schwarber to pass Ted Kluszewski for the all-time single season home run record by a Hoosier. On Tuesday Schwarber crushed the 437-foot milestone home run against…

Make that three IU football games that have sold out for the 2025 season. Indiana announced on Tuesday afternoon their October home games against Michigan State and UCLA no longer have tickets available.  The school previously announced the Sept. 20 home game against Illinois has sold out as well. Going back to last season, Indiana has now sold out seven home games over the last two seasons. In the same Tuesday announcement, Indiana says their Nov. 15 home game against Wisconsin has limited quantities available. This is the sixth time in program history the program has sold out multiple games…

Indiana safety Louis Moore has at least two more weeks of eligibility based on the latest filings in his case against the NCAA. Moore and the NCAA have reached a temporary agreement described as follows in a document posted in the Dallas County Texas court portal. “The NCAA agrees to take no action with respect to Plaintiff’s (Moore’s) eligibility or ability to compete in any intercollegiate activities, based upon violations of any eligibility rules at issue in the First Amended Petition, through and including September 24, 2025.” This means Moore is eligible to play this Friday evening when Indiana hosts…

Below we took a look at Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades, notes and snap counts from their week two contest vs. Kennesaw State. With solid overall grades this week, the Hoosiers moved up 43 spots to No. 18 overall at PFF.  They have the No. 12 offense and No. 34 defense.

OFFENSIVE STANDOUTS The top overall offensive grade went to backup quarterback Alberto Mendoza, who completed all three of…

It raised some eyebrows when IU coach Curt Cignetti said in the spring redshirt freshman Albert Mendoza was the likely backup quarterback for the Hoosiers in 2025. It wasn’t as if anyone doubted eventually Alberto would be ready for the spotlight in Bloomington, but from the outside the frame of reference was relatively thin — and a bit unconvincing. Alberto played in one game as a true freshman in 2024.  That came late in a 77-3 win over FCS opponent Western Illinois, and like a lot of first-year players, he looked tentative. Year two at Indiana brings a new dynamic…
