Curt Cignetti Just DOUBLED DOWN On His Confidence in Josh Hoover! | "I'm Glad He's Our QB"

Curt Cignetti has heard the criticism surrounding Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover — and the Hoosiers' head coach is pushing back.

After reviewing the film from Indiana's win over Western Kentucky, Cignetti said there has been too much scrutiny on Hoover, argued that his quarterback missed only one throw, and made his position clear: he's glad Hoover is Indiana's quarterback.

Jacob Goins breaks down why Cignetti's public vote of confidence matters as Indiana prepares to begin Big Ten play against Northwestern and why it might be time for Hoosier fans to trust their head coach on Hoover.

Plus, it's time for “What Are the Odds?” We check where Indiana stands in the national championship and Big Ten championship races, where Josh Hoover sits in the latest Heisman Trophy odds and why Charlie Becker still isn't getting enough national attention.

Big Ten play is here. Curt Cignetti has hitched his wagon to Josh Hoover. Now it's time to see what Indiana's quarterback does when the lights get brighter.
