Episode Details

Indiana Football continues to build momentum in fall camp as Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers prepare for the 2026 college football season.

On this bonus edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins is joined by TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction to break down the latest from Indiana Football fall camp, including Josh Hoover's progression at quarterback, the battle at wide receiver, Indiana's loaded running back room and a defense that could be even better than it was last season.

How has Hoover handled the biggest concern surrounding his game? What are Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh showing at wide receiver? Who could emerge as Indiana's third option? And are there any legitimate weaknesses on a roster expected to compete for another College Football Playoff appearance?

Then, the conversation expands to the Big Ten. Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon appear to be the conference's top three teams entering 2026 — but who comes next?

Michigan, USC, Washington and Penn State all have potential paths into the College Football Playoff. Could the Big Ten send four — or even five — teams to the CFP? And could a three-loss Big Ten team have a legitimate playoff argument?

All of that and more on this bonus edition of Locked On Hoosiers.
