Hoosier Huddle is getting ready for the 2024 football season and with a new coaching staff and a totally revamped roster, Indiana Hoosier fans are going to need a roster handy to track all of the new faces.

In 2023, Indiana allowed an average of 29.9 points per game including an opposing passer rating of 143.62 and 4.19 yards per rush.

No Bull - IU needs to improve its pass rush. While Indiana has had good, and even great, defenses since Tom Allen has been at Indiana, the consistent knock on his defenses has been pass rush - especially without blitzing. Last season, Indiana was 102nd in the country with 20.0 total sacks, ranking just behind UAB and just ahead of Akron.
