Episode Details

Indiana Football opened the 2026 season with a 52-16 win over North Texas, but the final score doesn't tell the entire story.

Josh Hoover and the Indiana offense showed plenty of reasons for optimism, while Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh and the Hoosiers' receiving corps flashed their massive potential. But Curt Cignetti's defense also showed several areas that need to improve before Indiana gets into the difficult portion of its schedule.

On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down what went right and wrong for Indiana against North Texas, the biggest improvements the Hoosiers need to make from Week 1 to Week 2, and why Indiana fans shouldn't panic after an imperfect opener.

Plus, we take a trip around a wild opening weekend in the Big Ten, including Oregon's scare against Boise State, Ohio State's dominant performance and the controversial ending involving Michigan.

Indiana is 1-0. There is plenty to fix. But the Hoosiers are going to be just fine.
