Indiana moved to 6-0 with a 20-17 win over Nebraska Saturday afternoon in Lincoln. The full offensive snap counts from the game are below. But first, here are some position-by-position notes on the offense coming out of the contest: Quarterback PFF gave Hoover good to average grades across the board.  He generally had time to throw and IU executed against crowd noise effectively. He was pressured seven times and sacked twice. Hoover delivered two passing touchdowns in the final 12:01 of the game.  He threw a laser on Nick Marsh’s 75-yard score, and patiently made the right read on Marsh’s…

Somehow Indiana replacing UMass on its 2027 schedule with Jacksonville State triggered another week of outrage about the Hoosiers’ approach to scheduling. Let’s be clear — IU and head coach Curt Cignetti need to apologize to no one about that. But what about the fact they play a soft early-season slate with no Power 4 competition outside of league play? Sure, but what about back-to-back trips the College Football Playoff, including a 16-0 national championship season? If Cignetti surveyed Indiana fans right now and said “Look, we know you don’t love our nonconference schedule, but we think it best positions…

IU basketball’s outlet for the 2026-27 season saw a major boost with the return of Sam Alexis. Indiana’s starting center for most of last season, Alexis brings important frontcourt depth to coach Darian DeVries’ second Hoosier squad. But the return of Alexis comes with an asterisk. He obtained a fifth-year of eligibility in the courtroom, when an Indiana judge granted him and others a preliminary injunction against the NCAA’s enforcement of its five-for-five rule. You probably know the story by now.  The NCAA passed a new five-year eligibility rule this summer, but attempted to exclude four-year players in the class…

Tight end Andrew Barker was injured in the Rutgers game and is currently listed as out. Wide receiver Lebron Bond appears to be making progress towards a return. …

There are no freebies in the paint this year at IU basketball practice. “I got to make sure I’m going off two feet,” guard Jaeden Mustaf said.  “Because if not, they’re blocking it. They’re not going to let me just get no free layups.” “They” is 7-foot-2 center Samet Yigitoglu, 7-foot forward Aiden Sherrell, and 7-foot center Clemens Sokolov.  And you can add 6-foot-9 center Sam Alexis, who is a respectable rim protector in his own right. The 6-foot-6 Mustaf arrived at Indiana this offseason with a reputation as a slasher and strong finisher in the paint.  He sees the…

IU basketball landed one of its highest-rated recruits ever on Tuesday afternoon. Class of 2027 big man Darius Wabbington announced his pledge to head coach Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers. “I chose Indiana because the plan they have for me and the trust that the entire organization has in me,” he told 247Sports. “I decided IU was the place for me because of the love that was shown while I was there and the love I got from the entire organization. I have an amazing relationship with every coach on the coaching staff. I talk to all of them pretty…

IU basketball’s top remaining recruiting target in the high school class of 2027 is announcing his college choice on Tuesday. And he’s trending towards the Hoosiers. 6-foot-11 Darius Wabbington is down to Indiana, Arizona and Illinois.  He’ll announce his decision at 5 p.m. ET tomorrow (Tuesday). National Rivals recruiting analysts Joe Tipton and Jamie Shaw have both placed predictions Wabbington will pick Indiana. He would be one of the highest-rated recruits to ever commit to IU. Based on the average of the national rankings, Wabbington is a 5-star, the No. 13 overall player in the senior class, and the No.…
