Indiana Football opened the season with a 52-16 win over North Texas, but it wasn't a perfect afternoon for Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers.
On this postgame edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's Week 1 victory, beginning with a surprisingly sloppy performance from the Hoosiers defense. Missed tackles, problems stopping the run and injuries to AJ Harris and Jamari Sharpe created some early concerns despite Indiana allowing only 16 points.
The offense was a completely different story.
Josh Hoover was outstanding in his Indiana debut, completing 13 of 16 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns. Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker immediately showed why they could become one of the best receiver duos in the Big Ten, while Turbo Richard helped lead an impressive Indiana rushing attack.
We also break down the latest injury updates from Curt Cignetti, Indiana's impressive special teams performance, the biggest likes and dislikes from Week 1 and what the Hoosiers need to clean up before Week 2.
Indiana is 1-0. The offense looks dangerous. Now it's time for the defense to catch up.
