Episode Details

Curt Cignetti spoke with the media following Indiana Football’s first scrimmage of fall camp, and we learned a lot about where the Hoosiers stand as the 2026 season gets closer.

On today’s bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob breaks down Cignetti’s latest comments on Indiana’s position battles, including Bray Lynch taking 90% of the first-team reps at center, the competition behind Isaiah Jones and Elijah Hardy at linebacker, the possibility of Kellen Wyatt playing linebacker, and what Cignetti had to say about Indiana’s wide receiver room.

The defense remains ahead of the offense, but Cignetti says the offense is beginning to make more plays as camp progresses. With no major injury concerns and plenty of upside throughout the roster, where does Indiana stand after its first scrimmage?

Then, we react to the preseason AP Poll putting the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers at No. 6. Is Indiana being disrespected again?
