Happy Thanksgiving, Hoosier fans! We hope you have a safe and happy, Thanksgiving filled with delicious food, family and football!
The first 2020 College Football Playoff rankings were revealed Tuesday and for first time ever Indiana is ranked in the College Football Playoff! It is time for Tom Allen and the No. 12 ranked Hoosiers to look forward and prepare for their next opponent— the Maryland Terrapins. The Terps have cancelled their last two games due to a COVID-19 outbreak, that spread its way to head Coach Mike Locksley himself. Check back for the newest on IU and Maryland as we keep a close eye on the matchup.
High school football playoffs are in full swing for many of the class of 2021 Hoosiers, and for others senior night is around the corner, or they don’t start until spring. We’re here to keep you updated with the 13 future Hoosiers’ weekly performances and playoff schedules. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter @Hoosier_Huddle.
Since fans aren’t allowed in the stands in 2020, we are doing live shows during the game on the HotMic app. You won’t want to miss out on the breakdown and analysis.
