Over the course of the season, we’ll look into many of those numbers ahead of the Indiana Hoosiers’ matchups each week, so be on the lookout for that!

Without further ado, let’s get into it:

Game Wrap and Reaction: No. 2 Indiana 55 Maryland 10

Indiana

The Hoosiers entered the game pretty banged up as they were without All-American Aiden Fisher and starting guard Drew Evans. The pressure on the Hoosiers gets turned up a notch every game with Big Ten title and College Football Playoff implications.

No. 2 Indiana’s defense stole the spotlight in College Park, forcing five turnovers and turning chaos into points. The Hoosiers dominated Maryland 55–10, improving to 9-0 for the second straight year while proving their defense isn’t just good—it’s championship-caliber.

The 8-0 Indiana Hoosiers are rolling, especially on defense, where Indiana is holding opponents to an average of 10.9 points per game, the third best in all of college football. While guys like D’Angelo Ponds and Aiden Fisher have deservingly gotten the bulk of the credit for Indiana’s defensive domination, one player has continually produced under the radar this season: defensive back Devan Boykin.

No Escape: Bryant Haines’ Defense Smothers the Bruins

USATSI 27416450

Indiana’s defense, led by coordinator Bryant Haines, delivered another masterclass in dominance as the Hoosiers dismantled UCLA 56–6. From Tyrique Tucker’s opening sack to Aiden Fisher’s pick-six, Haines’ relentless, disciplined unit showcased why it’s one of the most feared defenses in college football.

Following their second spring practice, several leaders on the team met with the media to share their thoughts on how they feel the transfers are fitting in.

2024 was a historic campaign for the Indiana Hoosiers. IU was 11-2 and made the College Football Playoff, ultimately losing to Notre Dame in South Bend. A large portion of the success in year number one of the Curt Cignetti era could be attributed to very successful additions from the transfer portal. Kurtis Rourke, Elijah Sarratt, Myles Price, Zach Horton, Ke’Shawn Williams and Trey Wedig stood out on offense while guys like Mikail Kamara, CJ West, Jaylin Walker and Aiden Fisher were outstanding on defense. A good chunk of the first-year transfers came from James Madison and helped instill the culture Curt Cignetti and his staff were going for. Having that prior relationship clearly helped with talent evaluation.
