Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti has Indiana fans believing a repeat national title is possible.
The optimism starts with the new quarterback, TCU transfer Josh Hoover. He was one of the top players in the transfer portal, and he has embraced the challenge of replacing Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. He'll have elite offensive lineman Carter Smith protecting him.
The Hoosiers should have a solid defense too, led by linebackers Rolijah Hardy and Isaiah Jones and defensive lineman Tyrique Tucker. They are back from a unit that ranked third nationally in scoring defense and sixth in yards allowed per game.
