BLOOMINGTON — FOX is bringing its “Big Noon Kickoff” show back to Bloomington,. Indiana will host FOX’s national college football pregame show next week at Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium, ahead of the Hoosiers’ game against UCLA. The game will air on FOX at noon ET, immediately following the show. IU hosted “Big Noon Kickoff” twice in 2024: ahead of its lopsided win over Nebraska in October, and then again in November before the Hoosiers faced Michigan. This is the first major pregame show to air in Bloomington this year. Curt Cignetti’s team is now 7-0 for the second…

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana men’s basketball handled business smoothly in its first exhibition game of the 2025-26 season. The Hoosiers cruised past Marian for a 107-46 victory on Friday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. This was Darian DeVries’ first time taking the court in Bloomington as head coach, and his team showed a lot of potential. As always, an exhibition game should be digested with a grain of salt — IU has obvious advantages over Marian that will always make statistics and scores look lopsided. That said, here are three main takeaways from Indiana’s exhibition win. Ball movement looking good…

Indiana linebacker Isaiah Jones has stepped into a major role for the Hoosiers this season. He leads the Big Ten with 10 tackles for loss halfway through the season. Jones entered the season projected to see plenty of action this season, but as the team’s No. 3 linebacker behind Aiden Fisher and Rolijah Hardy. But his strong play has led defensive coordinator Bryant Haines to utilize three-linebacker formations more frequently. Teammates aren’t surprised by Jones’ emergence. They’ve seen his work ethic for a long time and knew he was capable of big things. IU running back Roman Hemby said Jones…

This is how a football school acts. After Indiana football earned one of its biggest-ever wins at Oregon last week, the Hoosiers have lived in the spotlight. The attention hasn’t been all flowers and praise, though. After Penn State fired head coach James Franklin on Sunday, IU head coach Curt Cignetti became a popular name among rumors and reports of potential candidates to take over in Happy Valley. It took IU athletic director Scott Dolson only four days — the same amount of time from Tom Allen’s firing to Cignetti’s hire in Nov. 2023 — to sign Cignetti to a…

After winning a huge game at Oregon, Indiana football has moved on quickly. There’s no other choice, with the way college football moves along. And head coach Curt Cignetti has always preached the importance of strong mentality, not getting too high when things are good and not getting too low when things are bad. This week’s game against Michigan State could be the biggest test that message faces. “Total focus on Michigan State. I think the key now is our response coming off of this game. But that’s always the key,” Cignetti said Monday. “And this team has met every…

Indiana linebacker Aiden Fisher has been named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after his standout performance against Oregon. The senior tied for team leads with 13 total tackles and four solo tackles in IU’s 30-20 victory in Eugene, Ore. Fisher added 1.5 sacks as well, and he recorded Indiana’s top run defense grade for the game on Pro Football Focus.

He’s the third player to earn Big Ten Player of the Week honors, joining Offensive Players…

Following a landmark victory, Indiana football has made a historic rise in the polls. The Hoosiers pulled off one of their greatest-ever wins on Saturday, a 30-20 triumph over Oregon at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore. And that signature result has vaunted them to No. 3 in both the Coaches Poll and the AP Poll. It’s IU’s highest-ever ranking in the AP Poll. Additionally, the Hoosiers received one first-place vote in the Coaches Poll, and three first-place votes in the AP Poll. It’s their first time garnering a first-place vote in the latter rankings since 1967, and just the fourth…
