Indiana Defense Must Fix Tackling | Indiana Hoosiers Football News

Indiana’s defense is facing a critical test this Saturday against Howard, as Vegas and analytics predict an overwhelming Hoosiers win — but the real story might be how well they tackle. After missing 14 tackles last week against North Texas — a shocking jump from their usual six or fewer — starters are at fault, not just backups. Head coach Curt Cignetti acknowledged the issue, blaming poor field exits and heat, but made it clear: this level of missed tackles isn’t acceptable. With conference games looming, expect a sharp defensive turnaround in practice — and a much cleaner game against Howard.
