Episode Details

Indiana Football is FINALLY back. Curt Cignetti met with the media ahead of the Hoosiers' season opener against North Texas, and one thing is clear: Indiana is ready to stop practicing and finally see what this team can do on the field.

On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's comments about Indiana's offensive line, defensive depth, secondary and the challenges of preparing for a North Texas roster loaded with transfers. Former Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson also adds another wrinkle to the Week 1 matchup.

Plus, 18 former Indiana Hoosiers have made NFL 53-man rosters, continuing to strengthen IU's growing pipeline to the NFL. Jacob explains why that matters so much for Curt Cignetti and Indiana's recruiting efforts.

Finally, we look at the new and enhanced game-day experiences coming to Memorial Stadium as Indiana begins its season as the defending national champion.
