The Hoosiers Have Exceeded Omar Cooper's Expectations

Written By: Nick Gonzales (@nrgonzales_)

Last year, if anyone were to tell you that the Hoosiers would be 7-0 in 2024, you would’ve thought of them as crazy, but now it is a reality. Fans are still having trouble comprehending the massive turnaround of Indiana’s football program. Not only fans of the Hoosiers but college football fans around the country would’ve never expected this. The same goes for some of the players from last season’s roster who decided to return for the 2024 season.

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.

Written by: TJ Inman
