IU’s Defense Has Season-High 5 Takeaways in Win Over Nebraska

Written By: Ben Gillard (@benjgillard)

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.

Indiana's Defense Prevails After Some Struggles in the First Half

The Hoosiers beat the Charlotte 49ers in a dominant fashion, winning the game 52-14 Saturday afternoon. This is the fourth week in a row where Indiana has dominated its opponent and most likely won’t be the last.

However, following a 4th and 1 stop in the 3rd quarter, their struggles seemed to subside.

2024 Position Preview – Defensive Back Group is Revamped Through the Portal

Written by: TJ Inman

The past few seasons for the Indiana secondary have not been kind. After a lot of hype and excitement surrounding a returning young core, the potential was never realized and Indiana gave up average passer ratings of 143.62 in 2023 and a shockingly bad 152.42 in 2022. Curt Cignetti and defensive coordinator Bryant Haines retained some of IU’s returning secondary players and hit the transfer portal to upgrade at both cornerback and safety. IU needs to create more takeaways in the secondary and make life more difficult for opposing passing attacks.
