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.

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.

Written by: Nate Comp (@NathanComp1)

The excitement is buzzing around the Indiana football program and now we’re entering a critical time to start building for next season: spring football.
