Indiana may have dodged a bullet on Friday night. According to a report by Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, running back Turbo Richard suffered a high ankle sprain when he was tackled on the sideline in the first half against Northwestern. ESPN is also reporting via sources Richard’s injury is not serious and he should return soon, perhaps even next weekend against Rutgers.  Indiana will issue multiple injury reports ahead of the Rutgers game. Richard left the game and did not return. High ankle sprains typically take multiple weeks to recover from, and they can linger, but that injury would…

Indiana lost a key starter to injury on both sides of the ball during a 29-23 win over Northwestern Friday evening in Bloomington. Running back Turbo Richard was tackled out of bounds in the first half and limped off the field with an apparent right foot or lower leg injury. He did not return. IU coach Curt Cignetti was asked about Richard’s status after the game but he did not have an update. “We’ll find out,” Cignetti said.  “You hate to see that happen to a good player, who was playing really well.  But he’ll do everything he can to…

President Donald Trump’s early departure from the national championship game may have cost IU an touchdown while on defense in the fourth quarter. The President’s movement within the stadium causes all communication to be shut down, and Indiana coach Curt Cignetti says that happened in the fourth quarter during the College Football Playoff final at Hard Rock Stadium. “When President Trump left the game around the 7 minute mark of the 4th quarter, there were two or three plays we were on defense, we couldn’t hear at all,” Cignetti told Don Fischer on his radio show Thursday evening. “And the…

We are less than six weeks away from year two of the Darian DeVries era. Practice has officially started this week in Bloomington, as a promising Hoosier squad formally begins preparation on the hardwood. It’s fair to say this is one of the better rosters assembled at IU in a decade, but there are still questions as a new season approaches. Here are some of the more significant variables we’ll be watching for in the final weeks leading up to the 2026-27 campaign. Can Aiden Sherrell make the jump? As a former McDonald’s All-American and consensus top-30 recruit, Aiden Sherrell…

The developments make an already high-level Indiana defense even better. “You know, sure will help if we have Wyatt…

Seven IU football players appeared on the first of four Big Ten availability reports ahead of the Northwestern game. OUT are cornerback Carson Williams, wide receiver Lebron Bond and running back Khobie Martin. Both Bond and Martin have missed the last two weeks with their injuries.  Williams played in the first two games but not week three. DOUBTFUL is cornerback A.J. Harris.  He was injured in the first quarter in week one and does not appear close to a return.  Head coach Curt Cignetti said Harris has only participated in around 20% of the team’s practices since joining the program…

When asked about the competition at punt returner ahead of each season, IU football coach Curt Cignetti has consistently said not dropping the ball was his top requirement for the role. So after Tyler Morris muffed two punts against Howard in week two, it didn’t come as a major surprise to see a replacement in for him on Saturday. Who that replacement was did cause more than a few double takes, however. Enter Charlie Becker, who was already building an All-American resume at wide receiver for the Hoosiers. Why Becker? “I get asked, why do you have Charlie Becker back…
