COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Indiana football isn’t just winning games. The Hoosiers are dominating. They’re overpowering their opponents and breaking them, every single week. Every game is different; some opponents are tougher than others, some road environments are more hostile than others, some other circumstances can be more challenging than others. But No. 2 IU is simply crushing its competition, week in and week out. Maryland was the latest victim, in a 55-10 drubbing on Saturday at SECU Stadium. “The key to the drill to me is that you’re playing from the first play to the last play the same.…

IU football will look to keep on rolling on the road this weekend. The No. 2-ranked Hoosiers (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) take on Maryland (4-3, 1-3) at SECU Stadium in College Park, Md. on Saturday. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. and is airing on CBS. Curt Cignetti’s team defeated the Terrapins last season in Bloomington, but this is his first trip to the east coast with IU. Running back Roman Hemby will return to the stadium he called home for his first four collegiate seasons, and several other Indiana players from the DMV area will play in front…

Indiana men’s basketball’s regular season is less than a week away. IU gets rolling with non-conference play in early November, hosting Alabama A&M on Wednesday. Darian DeVries has a lot of preseason work to build on with the Hoosiers in his first year with the program. They played three exhibition games in Puerto Rico in August, as part of their team trip, and then two more in October. Three of those contests were against comparable opposition: two of the Puerto Rico games against Serbian team Mega Superbet, and a matchup with Baylor in Indianapolis last weekend. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/two-takeaways-from-indianas-exhibition-win-over-baylor/ This new-look IU…

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana women’s basketball entered this season with as little certainty as the program’s had in a long time. IU overhauled much of its roster during the offseason, and the squad is very different from previous iterations as a result. The new-look Hoosiers played their lone exhibition game ahead of the season Monday, a 100-32 win over Missouri S&T at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Exhibition games should always be processed with a grain of salt, but being the first opportunity to watch an Indiana team with so many new pieces, there was still a lot to learn. Here are…

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana defensive end Mikail Kamara wasn’t shy about the lofty goals he set this season. During fall camp, Kamara talked about aiming to set the IU single-season sack record, currently 16 (Greg Middleton, 2007). His actual goal was even higher than that. “You’ve got to aim higher than you can even believe. I feel like if you aim higher, if you fall, it’s going to be still spectacular. So I set that goal at 20 sacks,” Kamara said in August. “I’ll say it again, I set it at 20 sacks. Worst-case scenario, I fall and I break the…

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana men’s basketball faced a stiff preseason test. The Hoosiers took on Baylor in an exhibition game on Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and this contest wasn’t easy for them. They had to overcome some challenges and hold their nerves in a close late-game situation. And IU came out on the right side, in a 76-74 win. Indiana is back in action on Wednesday, Nov. 5 to open the regular season at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall against Alabama A&M. Here are two takeaways from the exhibition victory. Late-game experience could be valuable Indiana kept its offense pretty vanilla and…

BLOOMINGTON — Urban Meyer gave Indiana football high praise on FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff” on Saturday morning, and the IU coaching staff spent the ensuing afternoon backing it up. The three-time national championship-winning coach proclaimed the Hoosiers one of the best-coached teams he’s seen in his career, in front of a crowd full of crazed Indiana fans. That’s a big statement from someone who’s seen as much football over the last 25 years as Meyer has. “This is one of the best coached teams I’ve seen in my career.” @CoachUrbanMeyer has HIGH praise for Curt Cignetti’s @IndianaFootball 👏 pic.twitter.com/HmfWblfkxg —…

IU football faces an intriguing challenge in week nine. No. 2 Indiana (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) takes on UCLA (3-4, 3-1) on Saturday at Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium. The game kicks off at noon ET and will air on FOX. With a win, the Hoosiers would secure back-to-back eight-win seasons for the first time since 1987-88. This would be their 14th consecutive home win, one of the longest streaks in the country. UCLA entered the season projected to finish among the worst teams in the Big Ten. But the Bruins have turned their season around in recent weeks…

Indiana’s game against UCLA looks a lot different than it did a month ago. The Bruins looked listless as they limped to an 0-3 start, before firing head coach DeShaun Foster and promoting Tim Skipper to interim head coach. UCLA lost its next game after the change, at Northwestern, and then Skipper replaced offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri and promoted Jerry Neuheisel from tight ends coach and assistant head coach to the vacant position. Since then, UCLA’s fortunes have turned. Skipper orchestrated a stunning upset of Penn State, followed by wins over Michigan State and Maryland. “We’re playing a 3-0 football…
