IU football has the moved the date of the 2025 spring game.
The Hoosiers will wrap up their spring practice sessions with a spring game on April 17th at 8 p.m. ET. The new date and time might be to accommodate television, although nothing has been announced in that regard. The IU spring game was on The Big Ten Network last year. This year’s game was previously set for Saturday, April 19th at Noon.
Indiana’s first spring practice is this weekend. Teams are allowed to have 15 spring practices.
Under head coach Curt Cignetti, IU used a unique approach to the spring game in 2024, pitting the offense against the defense.
The offense beat the defense 34-25 last April.
If the same format is used this year, the contest will feature two 15-minute periods in an offense vs. defense format with each side accumulating points based on the following scoring system:
Touchdown – 6 points
Extra Point – 1 point
Field Goal – 3 points
Turnover Gained – 4 points
Defensive Stop – 3 points
Safety – 2 points
Last year’s game was the only time Indiana tackled throughout the spring and fall camp. It was the first public spring game in several years.
Cignetti stood on the field behind the offense the entire game a year ago.
Attendance at the spring game was relatively light in 2024, but the enthusiasm for Cignetti and the program following an 11-2 season and a College Football Playoff appearance might lead to a significant crowd.
It will also be the first opportunity for Indiana fans to see new transfer quarterback Fernando Mendoza, running backs Roman Hemby and Lee Beebe, Jr., and many other new additions.
More details on the game, including broadcast information, admission, and other special opportunities will be announced at a later date.
