Advertise on podcast: Locked On Hoosiers Hit - Quick Takes on Indiana Hoosiers Football & Basketball

Indiana Football doesn't need Josh Hoover to throw for 300 yards to beat Minnesota. The Hoosiers have built a defense capable of carrying the team through difficult games, and Curt Cignetti's squad has another opportunity to prove it. After holding Michigan to just six points in a 13-6 overtime victory, Indiana's defense has become one of the most dependable parts of the team. While Hoover and the passing game are looking to regain their rhythm, the Hoosiers have demonstrated that they can win even when the offense isn't at its best. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana's defense gives the Hoosiers a major advantage against PJ Fleck and Minnesota. He also discusses the importance of Billy Gowers and the punting game, controlling field position, protecting the football and giving Hoover manageable opportunities to move the offense. Can Indiana win comfortably without a huge passing performance? And will the Hoosiers enter their bye week with another important Big Ten victory?

Darian DeVries just revealed Indiana Basketball's biggest improvement heading into the 2026-27 season, and the numbers are remarkable. During three exhibition games, Indiana posted a 40% offensive rebounding rate and a 79% defensive rebounding rate, according to DeVries. Using last season's national benchmarks, those numbers would have ranked approximately third and first in college basketball. That's a dramatic change from last season, when Indiana struggled on the glass and ranked 176th nationally in total rebounding and 306th in offensive rebounding. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins explains why rebounding could be the biggest difference between last year's Indiana team and this year's Hoosiers. He also breaks down how Aiden Sherrell and Samet Yigitoglu give DeVries the size, physicality and frontcourt options Indiana lacked last season. Can the Hoosiers carry their exhibition rebounding success into the regular season? And could this improvement help Indiana return to the NCAA Tournament?

Indiana Football is preparing to face Minnesota, and the Golden Gophers might be a much more dangerous opponent than Hoosiers fans realize. Minnesota enters the matchup with a 5-2 record and three victories over teams that were ranked when they played: Washington, Michigan and Iowa. Curt Cignetti's Indiana Hoosiers are coming off a 13-6 overtime victory against Michigan, but the offense still has questions to answer. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana fans shouldn't overlook PJ Fleck's Minnesota team, particularly its defense and secondary. With Josh Hoover and Indiana's passing game trying to regain their rhythm, this could be an important test before the Hoosiers' bye week. Jacob also shares his three keys to an Indiana victory: protecting the football, establishing offensive rhythm early, and letting Indiana's defense dictate the game. Can Indiana handle Minnesota comfortably, or will the Golden Gophers make this a much closer game than expected?

Indiana Basketball's backcourt might be better than fans originally expected. Markus Burton has struggled with his shooting during the exhibition season and suffered a finger injury against Western Kentucky, but Darian DeVries has provided an encouraging update. Meanwhile, Bryce Lindsay has emerged as one of the Hoosiers' most exciting offensive players. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana fans shouldn't write off Markus Burton before the regular season even begins. Burton's struggles are worth discussing, but Lindsay's impressive preseason performances could give DeVries more options than expected. Lindsay scored 26 points against North Carolina and 20 against Western Kentucky, and DeVries has discussed giving him starter-level minutes even if he comes off the bench. What happens if both Burton and Lindsay become major contributors? Could Indiana have one of the Big Ten's most dangerous backcourts? Jacob also discusses Indiana's other guards, the importance of improved perimeter defense, and why the starting lineup may matter less than the combinations DeVries uses throughout games. Do you think Markus Burton and Bryce Lindsay can both thrive in Indiana's backcourt?

Curt Cignetti just praised one of Indiana Football's most impressive defensive players: Tobi Osunsanmi. The Kansas State transfer has recorded nine sacks through eight games, and his impact on the Hoosiers' defensive line has been enormous. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins breaks down Osunsanmi's breakout season, Cignetti's praise for his technique, leadership and development, and why Indiana's pass rush has become such an important part of the team's success. Indiana recently held Michigan to just six points while recording four sacks, another impressive performance for Bryant Haines' defense. Alongside players such as Tyrique Tucker, Mario Landino and Joe Hjelle, Osunsanmi is helping make Indiana's defensive front one of the team's biggest strengths. Jacob explains how pressure on opposing quarterbacks helps Indiana's secondary, why Osunsanmi has exceeded expectations since transferring from Kansas State, and how his continued production could help the Hoosiers pursue another championship. Is Tobi Osunsanmi Indiana's most important defensive player this season?

Indiana Football has a major question to answer at wide receiver. Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker have established themselves as Josh Hoover's top receiving options, but the Hoosiers are still looking for a consistent third target in the passing game. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana's lack of another dependable receiving threat could become a serious problem as the Hoosiers prepare to face Minnesota and continue their push toward the College Football Playoff. Shazz Preston, Tyler Morris and Davion Chandler have opportunities to emerge, but Indiana needs someone else to consistently make plays. Michigan limited Marsh and Becker to five combined receptions, raising concerns that future opponents could adopt a similar defensive approach. Jacob discusses how Indiana can create more opportunities for Josh Hoover, why Brock Schott's overtime catch against Michigan provides a reason for optimism, and what the Hoosiers need from their passing game down the stretch. Who do you think will emerge as Indiana's third reliable receiving option?

Curt Cignetti delivered an encouraging update on Josh Hoover's health ahead of Indiana Football's matchup against Minnesota. After Hoover struggled while dealing with an injury against Michigan, Cignetti said he expects the Hoosiers' quarterback to be better this week. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins reacts to Cignetti's latest comments and explains what an improving Josh Hoover could mean for Indiana's offense during the second half of the 2026 college football season. Indiana considered making a quarterback change against Michigan, but Hoover remained in the game and delivered important plays during the Hoosiers' overtime victory. Now, with Minnesota approaching and a bye week on the horizon, can Hoover regain his rhythm and help Indiana's offense improve? Jacob discusses Hoover's health, his performance against Michigan, the impact of Fernando Mendoza's departure, and why a healthier quarterback could help Indiana's running game and receiving corps.

Darian DeVries has some major lineup decisions to make after Indiana Basketball's 79-74 exhibition victory over Western Kentucky. The Hoosiers received an incredible 57 points from their bench, including 20 from Bryce Lindsay and 15 from Sam Alexis, while several starters struggled to produce. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins reacts to Indiana's comeback against Western Kentucky and explains why DeVries may need to rethink his starting lineup and regular-season rotation. Bryce Lindsay continues to make a strong case for more playing time, Indiana's freshmen are stepping up, and the Hoosiers appear to have significant depth heading into the season. But with Markus Burton, Darren Harris and other starters struggling against Western Kentucky, how should DeVries distribute minutes? Jacob discusses Indiana's bench production, the possibility of Lindsay earning a starting role, and why the Hoosiers need more consistency from their starting five.

Indiana Football's defense dominated Michigan in a 13-6 overtime victory, and Jacob Goins believes Bryant Haines' unit just showed why the Hoosiers can defend their national championship. After limiting Michigan to just six points and 57 rushing yards, is Indiana's defense returning to championship form? In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob breaks down Indiana's impressive defensive performance against Michigan and explains why Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers could be dangerous during the second half of the 2026 college football season. Indiana recorded four sacks against the Wolverines, including two from Rolijah Hardy, while Amare Ferrell added another interception. The Hoosiers delivered physical play up front, disciplined linebacker performances and strong tackling throughout the game. Jacob also looks ahead to Indiana's remaining regular-season opponents, including Minnesota, USC, Washington and Purdue, and explains why an improving offense combined with championship-level defense could make the Hoosiers one of college football's most dangerous teams.

Curt Cignetti revealed that Indiana Football considered replacing Josh Hoover with Grant Wilson during the Hoosiers' overtime victory against Michigan. With Hoover dealing with an injury and struggling offensively, could Indiana face another quarterback decision ahead of its matchup with Minnesota? In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins reacts to Cignetti's postgame comments, Josh Hoover's performance against Michigan, and the potential implications for Indiana's offense moving forward. Hoover completed 8 of 18 passes for 81 yards and an interception before helping Indiana secure a 13-6 overtime victory. Jacob explains why Hoover's health should be a priority, whether Grant Wilson could see opportunities, and why the Hoosiers' offensive line and running game need to improve regardless of who plays quarterback. Is this a legitimate quarterback controversy, or simply a difficult situation that Curt Cignetti and his coaching staff need to manage?

Indiana Football could be getting running back Khobie Martin back for its matchup against Michigan, giving Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers a potential boost at an important time. After Indiana struggled to run the football against Ohio State, could Martin's expected return help Josh Hoover and the offense get back on track? In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins breaks down Khobie Martin's potential return from injury, what it means for Indiana's running back rotation, and why the Hoosiers need a more balanced offensive attack against Michigan. Indiana rushed for just 73 yards against Ohio State, putting additional pressure on quarterback Josh Hoover. With Khobie Martin potentially rejoining Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. in the backfield, Indiana could have another option to help establish the running game. Jacob also explains why offensive-line execution, explosive runs and staying ahead of the chains could determine whether Indiana leaves Ann Arbor with a victory.

Michigan Football has major offensive questions ahead of its matchup with Indiana Football, including several offensive linemen listed as questionable and a potential quarterback change involving Tommy Carr. Could these concerns give Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers a major advantage in Ann Arbor? In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins breaks down Michigan's offensive-line injury report, the expected quarterback situation involving Tommy Carr and Bryce Underwood, and why Indiana's defense could be in position for a strong performance. Jake Guarnera, Blake Frazier and Brady Norton have appeared on Michigan's injury report, raising questions about the Wolverines' offensive-line continuity. Jacob explains why those concerns matter and outlines three things Indiana must do defensively: win early downs, pressure the quarterback intelligently and force Michigan to sustain long drives.

Indiana Basketball guard Bryce Lindsay scored 26 points against North Carolina, giving Darian DeVries an interesting question about the Hoosiers' backcourt rotation. With Indiana preparing for its final exhibition against Western Kentucky, how should DeVries balance the minutes of Lindsay, Markus Burton, Darren Harris, and Jaeden Mustaf? Indiana has looked impressive through its first two exhibitions, including a dominant rebounding performance against North Carolina. But the Hoosiers still have important areas to evaluate before the regular season begins November 2. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins breaks down three areas he'll be watching against Western Kentucky: guard rotations, offensive efficiency, and defensive consistency. Can Indiana reduce turnovers and create better scoring opportunities? How will DeVries manage his talented guards? And can the Hoosiers continue developing the habits they'll need for Big Ten play?

Maryland Football has moved on from head coach Mike Locksley, and Indiana Football coordinators Mike Shanahan and Bryant Haines are already appearing on potential replacement lists. Could Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers lose two of their most important assistant coaches? In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins breaks down the Maryland coaching vacancy, why Shanahan and Haines are being discussed as potential head coaching candidates, and whether Indiana fans should actually be concerned. Both coordinators have played major roles in Indiana's success under Curt Cignetti. But would leaving Bloomington for College Park make sense right now? Jacob explains why he believes both assistants could eventually become head coaches, why Maryland might not be the right destination, and what this attention says about the Indiana Football program. Appearing on a candidate list does not mean Maryland has contacted or interviewed either coach.

Indiana Basketball's impressive exhibition wins over North Carolina and Butler have revealed an exciting advantage for Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers. This Indiana team has more ways to win, more lineup flexibility, and potentially a much higher ceiling than fans expected. After beating North Carolina 76-58 and dominating the rebounding battle, Indiana Basketball is showing encouraging signs before the 2026-27 regular season. Jacob Goins explains why Darian DeVries has assembled a versatile roster capable of winning through guard play, perimeter scoring, physicality, and rebounding. The Hoosiers still have areas to improve, including turnovers and offensive consistency. But with Big Ten competition approaching, Indiana's depth and ability to adjust to different opponents could become major strengths. How good can Indiana Basketball become this season?
