IU Spring Football 2025 – Wide Receiver Preview, Depth Chart and Superlatives

Written by: TJ Inman

2024 was a milestone and memorable season for the Indiana Hoosiers. Curt Cignetti’s first season in Bloomington resulted in a stunning 11-1 regular season record with the lone loss coming in Columbus against eventual National Champion Ohio State. Indiana made the College Football Playoff and battled Notre Dame before falling in South Bend and ending the season at 11-2. It was a school-record for wins and Curt Cignetti was honored as the National Coach of the Year. As IU begins preparations for the 2025 campaign, there is an unprecedented amount of attention on the program. Hoosier Huddle is gearing up for the spring with individual position group previews.

Throughout the entire season, people have doubted the Hoosiers’ ability to compete in big games and that doubt grew after an underwhelming performance against Ohio State. This doubt that is cast upon them has driven the team all year and they will continue to play in the College Football Playoffs with that chip on their shoulder.

The Bucket is home, and there is only one way to celebrate: a Waffle House dinner with plenty of Maple Missile Syrup. The Hoosiers got their first win over Purdue since 2019 in emphatic fashion on Saturday, hanging 66 points on the Boilermakers. With this win, Indiana was able to both reclaim The Old Oaken Bucket and add some much-needed style points to their CFP resume. This was in large part thanks to the superb connection between Kurtis Rourke and Elijah Sarratt.

Heading into the game on Saturday, it was clear that the Indiana offense had to have their best game of the season in order to get the win. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The Hoosiers struggled to move the ball, ending the game with a season-low 151 yards of total offense.

It feels like I have said some version of “this will be the toughest test Indiana has faced” for every conference game so far. And here we are again, headed into the Hoosiers’ seventh game, and I’ll say it again: Nebraska will be Indiana’s toughest test thus far. A 5-1 Cornhusker team heads to Bloomington to take on the 6-0 Hoosiers on homecoming. Let’s take a look at some of the stats that could come into play in this week’s matchup.

Elijah Sarratt has really stood out in the Hoosier’s offense this season, especially last week against Western Illinois where he logged 6 receptions, 137 yards and a touchdown (off of a 71-yard play). The Hoosiers are facing their first Big Ten opponent of the season and for Sarratt, it’ll be his first Big Ten game ever and he appreciates the opportunity to play in this historic venue.

Matchup to Watch: Week Two – Indiana’s Passing Game Execution vs. Western Illinois’ Secondary

Written by: TJ Inman 

The Curt Cignetti era got off to a strong start as the Indiana Hoosiers got off to a 21-0 start and then shutout Florida International in the second half to comfortably win 31-7. The Hoosiers ran for 5.9 yards per carry and 234 yards on the ground and the defense was all over the Golden Panthers from the very beginning of the contest, rarely letting up. The game was not without some issues and Curt Cignetti was less than pleased with the offensive execution in the middle portion of the game.
