‘Key Play Ke’Shawn’ Sparks Stagnant Offense in 20-15 Win Over Michigan

Written By: Ben Gillard (@benjgillard)

The Hoosiers needed a big play. With 5:33 left in the 4th quarter, Indiana was nursing a 17-15 lead over the Michigan Wolverines. The usually red-hot Hoosier offense had fallen stagnant in the second half, allowing the Wolverines to score 12 unanswered points, cutting the IU lead to just two. To make matters worse, starting punt returner Myles Price had left the game with an injury and did not return. The Hoosiers were in need of a spark. Enter Ke’Shawn Williams.

Hoosiers Thrive in the Red Zone Through First Four Games

The red zone is where games are won and lost. Converting in the red zone is the difference between IU’s 2023 loss to Louisville and their 2020 win over a ranked Penn State. Great teams find ways to finish drives, and so far Indiana has been extremely successful in the red zone.

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.

2024 Indiana Football Position Preview: Wide Receiver Corps is Deep as New Faces Arrive

Written by: TJ Inman

Indiana’s passing attack was nowhere near good enough in 2023. The lack of consistency and explosiveness in the pass game was one of the many issues Indiana had a season ago and IU’s new coaching staff knew a lot of change was needed on that side of the ball. Hoosier fans are hoping the 2024 attack is unrecognizable as the wide receiver room was addressed in the transfer portal and a new offensive system has been installed by offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan and head coach Curt Cignetti.
