Indiana has gotten off to a historic start this season, going 9-0 for the first time ever. A large part of this success has been due to the spectacular play of the offensive line, specifically that of Redshirt Sophomore Carter Smith.

For the first time ever since the start of Indiana’s football program 137 years ago, the Indiana Hoosiers are 9-0 and hungry for more. After a rough start in the first quarter, it seemed as if the Hoosiers wouldn’t be able to contain Michigan State’s quarterback, Aidan Chiles. However, Indiana’s defense was able to adjust at lightning speed and dominate the Spartans offensive line.

The Indiana Hoosiers did not get their usual offensive explosion against the Washington Huskies. UW surprised the Hoosiers with some different defensive concepts than they had previously shown and backup quarterback Tayven Jackson struggled to get into any kind of rhythm. Indiana’s defense got an early pick-six and had multiple big stops and Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan turned to the running game to grind out a comfortable 31-17 win in front of a jubilant crowd at sold-out Memorial Stadium.

Today was homecoming in Bloomington, and the Indiana defense certainly put on a show for the alums who made the trip down for the Hoosiers 56-7 rout of Nebraska. The IU defense was swallowing up Cornhuskers faster than Indiana native Joey Chestnut could swallow cheeseburgers at halftime. The Hoosiers “attack the ball” mentality certainly paid off this afternoon as they came away with a season-high five turnovers.

Another week and another victory in the books for the Hoosiers after defeating Northwestern 41-24. Indiana has now become the first bowl eligible team in the country and the first FBS school to reach six wins this season. While the Hoosiers looked great yet again, the defense continues to struggle, especially with giving up big plays.

The 2-0 Indiana Hoosiers travel to Pasadena for a monumental clash with the UCLA Bruins in the Rose Bowl (the stadium, not the game). Indiana has been fantastic in the first two contests of the Curt Cignetti era as the Hoosiers hammered Florida International and then had a record-setting performance against Western Illinois. Saturday night on NBC will be the first of several “toss-up” games this season for the Hoosiers and it is being viewed as a chance to show just how ready this IU program is to compete for a bowl game. Their opponent is a real mystery as the UCLA Bruins have a first-year head coach and new coordinators and they have only played one game after a bye last Saturday. UCLA survived a scare from Hawaii with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals propelling them to a 16-13 victory over the Rainbow Warriors.
Mikail Kamara has been a force for the Hoosiers this season, putting up 6 tackles and 3 sacks over the first two games. On the defensive line, the James Madison transfer is the undisputed leader, a role that he has been embracing head-on this season.
Read MoreComing into the 2024 season, the biggest question mark on the IU defense was the defensive line. Losing guys like Andre Carter and Philip Blidi in the offseason, it was unclear if the Hoosiers could continue to get after the quarterback consistently.
