Indiana fans got their first 2020 look at backup quarterback Jack Tuttle on Saturday. Tuttle entered the Maryland game in the third quarter, and at this point it will come as a surprise to no one if he is the starter on Saturday against Wisconsin after Michael Penix, Jr. suffered a lower leg injury. Head coach Tom Allen has a regularly scheduled press conference on Monday at Noon ET where we expect him to provide an update on Penix’s injury. So who is Jack Tuttle? Born in Indianapolis, Tuttle is the son of former IU walk-on kicker Jay Tuttle. He…
Indiana moved up in both the AP media and coaches polls on Sunday after a win over Maryland, but oddsmakers expect a reversal of fortunes next weekend. The Hoosiers moved up two spots to No. 10 in the latest AP poll, and one spot to No. 11 in the coaches poll. Meanwhile, IU is a two touchdown underdog against Wisconsin as uncertainty hovers regarding the availability of Hoosier starting quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. The redshirt sophomore suffered a lower leg injury in the second half against Maryland. Indiana has yet to release any official information about the nature of his…
Watch below as IU players Stevie Scott, Tim Baldwin, Tiawan Mullen and Cam Jones met with the media after a 27-11 win over Maryland. Scott had three touchdowns, Baldwin went over 100 yards rushing, Mullen had his third interception of the season, and Jones led IU with 6 tackles. Further below, watch the extended highlights from the game. Indiana achieved its best Big Ten record through six games since 1987.

How far has this Indiana program come? The Hoosiers had one of their worst halves in recent memory — and they still somehow led at the break against Maryland. Then IU lost its starting quarterback — and they started to pull away from the Terrapins. For years Indiana fans have seen the Hoosiers hang around in games before Big Ten foes ultimately asserted their will with superior depth and talent. On Saturday Indiana was that team.

As college basketball’s last unbeaten team, you might wonder why it took so long. Indiana’s 32-0 1975-76 squad has been selected to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame the organization announced on Saturday. The news follows the induction of legendary forward Calbert Cheaney in 2019. Here is the full release from the College Basketball Hall of Fame: https://twitter.com/IndianaMBB/status/1332796508631150593?s=20 KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Three of the most iconic teams in college basketball history have been selected to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2020, including the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana’s 1975-76 team finished a perfect 32-0 and remains…
Every win counts, but some are harder than others to feel good about. Indiana overcame a slow start to grind out a 27-11 win over Maryland, but it came with a cost. Starting quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. left the game in the third quarter with an apparent lower leg injury. Penix limped off the field after a 21 yard run to the Maryland three yard line, and with Indiana hanging on to a delicate 9-3 lead. The one word within the program this week was to “respond” to the loss to Ohio State last Saturday. While that response was uninspiring,…
A messy 2020 Big Ten football season could get messier. And more interesting for Indiana (4-1). The cancellation of Saturday’s Ohio State vs. Illinois game due to COVID-19 puts the Buckeyes on the brink of elimination from the Big Ten Championship game. Big Ten rules published along with the modified eight game schedule require that a team play at least six games to qualify for the Dec. 19 Big Ten championship game. Because Ohio State has now had two games canceled this season, the Buckeyes would be ineligible to play in the Big Ten Championship Game if either of their…
Coming off their first loss of the 2020 season, Indiana still has big possibilities ahead of it. But the Hoosiers can’t look past a Maryland squad that looked impressive before shutting down for two weeks due to the number of COVID-19 cases within the program. IU has surprised the college football world this year, winning games the oddsmakers said they weren’t supposed to. This time, the Hoosiers are a big favorite against a divisional foe. Can Indiana get back on track and keep its magical season going? MARYLAND (2-1) at No. 12 INDIANA (4-1) Kickoff: Noon ET Location: Memorial Stadium…
