Curt Cignetti Just CHANGED the Standard for Indiana heading into Big Ten play | Hoosiers Football

Curt Cignetti says the “exhibition” portion of Indiana Football's schedule is officially over. Now the real season begins.

Indiana enters Big Ten play 3-0 after wins over North Texas, Howard and Western Kentucky, but Cignetti knows the Hoosiers must raise their level as they prepare to host Northwestern on Friday night.

Jacob Goins explains why Cignetti's comments matter, what has to change for Josh Hoover and the Indiana offense, and why Northwestern could make things uncomfortable if the Hoosiers don't clean up their mistakes.

Plus, we break down Indiana's PFF grades from the Western Kentucky win, including Turbo Richard, Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, Tobi Onsunsanmi and Jamari Sharpe.

Finally, Indiana dropped from No. 4 to No. 5 in the latest AP Poll after Ole Miss jumped the Hoosiers. Is there actually any reason for Indiana fans to be upset?

Big Ten play is here. The exhibition games are over. It's time to find out exactly how good Indiana Football can be.
