2024 was a milestone and memorable season for the Indiana Hoosiers. Curt Cignetti’s first season in Bloomington resulted in a stunning 11-1 regular season record with the lone loss coming in Columbus against eventual National Champion Ohio State. Indiana made the College Football Playoff and battled Notre Dame before falling in South Bend and ending the season at 11-2. It was a school-record for wins and Curt Cignetti was honored as the National Coach of the Year. As IU begins preparations for the 2025 campaign, there is an unprecedented amount of attention on the program. Hoosier Huddle is gearing up for the spring with individual position group previews.

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. 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.
