Forget the Score. This Is What Indiana Needs Saturday vs Howard

Indiana Football should have little trouble beating Howard on Saturday. But for Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers, this game needs to be about much more than the final score.

Jacob Goins breaks down what actually matters for Indiana against Howard, including a defensive front that needs to make more plays, an offensive line looking for improvement, Isaiah Jones stepping into a leadership role, getting the secondary healthy and determining which younger players deserve bigger roles moving forward.

Plus, the Big Ten is introducing new transparency during replay reviews following the controversial ending between Michigan and Western Michigan. Is this finally the accountability college football officiating has needed?

And Indiana Basketball is attacking the 2027 recruiting trail. Darian DeVries and his staff are pursuing elite talent across the country, including five-star guard Nasir Anderson, while continuing to build momentum with Darius Wabbington.
