Episode Details

Week 1 is finally here, and Indiana football looks ready to begin its national championship defense.

After an unusually smooth and quiet fall camp, Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers appear to be exactly where they need to be entering Saturday's season opener against North Texas. Josh Hoover continues to settle in at quarterback, Indiana's roster is loaded with talent and leadership, and the Hoosiers have also avoided significant injuries entering the season.

Can Indiana pick up right where it left off after winning the national championship?

Jacob Goins explains why the Hoosiers look ready to play like a championship-caliber team immediately in Week 1.

Plus, we revisit the official 2026 Indiana football record prediction. Can the Hoosiers go 11-1? Why could Ohio State and Michigan determine whether Indiana goes undefeated? And which game presents the biggest danger on the schedule?

Finally, we look around the Big Ten and preview some of the biggest games of Week 1 as college football officially returns.
