Keys to a Much Needed Hoosier Win Over Maryland
Written by: @zachegreene
Points-wise, the Hoosiers are coming off their worst loss of the season as they took a beating to the fifth team in the nation, the Ohio State Buckeyes, 54-7. The Buckeyes started hot and did not take their foot off the gas pedal, putting the Hoosiers away in the first half scoring 44 points. The Hoosier’s only touchdown came to their first drive when the Hoosiers went 15 plays 75 yards for the score. The loss drops the Hoosiers to 2-5 on the season and 0-4 in the Big Ten. Their losses have come against AP Top 10 teams and more than likely two College Football Playoff Teams. The season will be about building some confidence for newcomers and getting some experience from here on out. That said, let’s dive into five keys for the Hoosiers to pull off an upset victory against the Maryland Terps on Saturday.

Matchup to Watch Week Six: Indiana’s Front Seven Vs. Taulia Tagovailoa
Written by Andrew Walker
Indiana continues to play some of their best football all season. Yes, I’m even comfortable in saying that after a close loss to no. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Michael Penix is playing extremely well thought out, athletic football. The defense is humming for the most part, and the offensive line, while giving up a few unwanted hurries, certainly isn’t in danger of being the worst ever. The Ohio State game was certainly a wakeup call for the Hoosiers. Not in the sense that they had to drastically change how they’re playing, but that they’re actually a lot closer than a lot of people think to taking over the Big Ten and challenging the perennial powerhouse Ohio State.
