REACTION: Indiana Offense looks LAZY in win vs Western Kentucky | Hoosiers READY for Big Ten Play?

Indiana Football improved to 3-0 with a 38-0 win over Western Kentucky, but the final score doesn't tell the entire story.

Jacob Goins reacts to Indiana's shutout victory and explains why the Hoosiers offense — and quarterback Josh Hoover in particular — has to be better as Curt Cignetti's team prepares to begin Big Ten play against Northwestern.

Hoover finished with 273 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Nick Marsh delivered his biggest performance yet as an Indiana Hoosier and Charlie Becker continued his huge start to the season. But inconsistent throws and an offense that looked unfocused at times leave questions entering conference play.

Meanwhile, Indiana's defense delivered again, pitching another shutout despite Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley being unavailable. Jamari Sharpe returned, Rolijah Hardy made an impact, and the Hoosiers defense continued to look like one of the strengths of this team.

Indiana is 3-0. Nonconference play is over. Now the real test begins.
