“Winning is hard,” Coach Tom Allen said. “Just get a chance to learn from it and get ready for the next one.”

The Hoosiers struggled offensively but managed to survive a four-overtime scare against the Akron Zips. The four-overtime game was the longest game in program history. So, how did it take extra time to defeat-and nearly lose-to the Zips?

Matchup to Watch Week One: Indiana's Offensive Line vs. Penn State's Defensive Front Seven

Written by Andrew Walker

The Hoosiers are finally back on the field after a hiatus that seemed like years. This season, things are looking up for Indiana. Their promising young starting QB Mike Penix is back under center, along with most of the offensive line, star running back Stevie Scott, and many others that bring experience and power to the Hoosiers. Their first game back is against the gauntlet that is Penn State. The Nittany Lions come into this season off of an impressive 11-2 season that saw them in the top ten for the majority of the season. This season is not any different, at least in terms of Penn State’s prowess. The eighth ranked Nittany Lions will travel to Bloomington this weekend for what’s sure to be a prove-it game for both teams. Can Penn State retain their offensive and defensive firepower? And can the Hoosiers improve on their record setting 2019 season? This game should be a good glimpse into how both teams will do.

Cream Tops Crimson as Hoosiers Close Spring Practice

Cream Tops Crimson as Hoosiers Close Spring Practice

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

On a windy but beautiful April Friday night in Bloomington, the Indiana Hoosiers concluded spring practice with the 2019 edition of the Spring Game between the Cream and Crimson squads. The offense, led by new offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer wore the Cream uniforms while Kane Wommack’s defense led the Crimson squad. With Michael Penix recovering from a torn ACL and not cleared for full contact and Jack Tuttle out for the spring with an illness, redshirt junior Peyton Ramsey was the sole quarterback for the Hoosiers. The offense gained points through traditional scoring while the defense could accumulate points for three and outs, stops and takeaways. In between quarters, the Hoosiers ran 7-on-7 “skeleton drills” with Michael Penix at quarterback and Stevie Scott and Cole Gest participating at running back. Field goals were also kicked after the first and third quarters and counted for scoring.
