Episode Details

Indiana Football hasn't lost a game since December 2024. After an undefeated regular season, a Big Ten Championship and a perfect run through the College Football Playoff, Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers enter 2026 as the defending national champions.

But eventually, Indiana is going to lose again.

On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins discusses what that first loss could look like, how Indiana fans will react, why the rest of the Big Ten will be waiting to celebrate it and why one loss would NOT mean Indiana's championship window has closed.

Then, TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction joins the show to preview two massive Big Ten non-conference matchups: Michigan vs. Oklahoma and Ohio State vs. Texas.

Which program needs the Week 2 win more? Could Michigan immediately put itself on a College Football Playoff path under Kyle Whittingham? And how much pressure will be on Ohio State against Texas?

It's another packed bonus edition of Locked On Hoosiers.
