Indiana's Title Defense Against North Texas | Indiana Hoosiers Football News

Indiana’s meteoric rise from underdog to national champion is on full display as they kick off their title defense against a completely rebuilt North Texas squad. Under Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers went 16-0 last season and are now ranked sixth — their highest ever — despite losing key NFL-bound players. They’ve stocked up with elite transfers, including QB Josh Hoover and running back Turbo Richard, while keeping their dominant defense intact. North Texas, led by new coach Neal Brown and quarterback Tayven Jackson (a former IU player), brings zero starters back and faces an uphill battle against a team built to reload and repeat. This matchup is a clash of dynasties-in-the-making — and Indiana’s got the firepower to make it a blowout. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
