UPDATE: Josh Hoover is STUNNING in Fall Camp for Indiana Football so far! | Next GREAT Hoosiers QB?

The outside noise surrounding Josh Hoover hasn't stopped. Some believe Indiana Football is taking a step backward at quarterback after Kurtis Rourke and Fernando Mendoza. But after the early stages of Indiana fall camp, there are plenty of reasons for Hoosier fans to feel good about where Hoover stands entering his first season running Curt Cignetti's offense. On today's bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why Hoover appears to be right on schedule in Bloomington — and why the outside doubt surrounding Indiana's new quarterback may be overlooking what Cignetti, Mike Shanahan and Tino Sunseri have built offensively. Hoover hasn't been perfect throughout his career, and his turnover history at TCU remains a legitimate question. But through the early practices discussed in this episode, turnovers and missed throws haven't emerged as major problems. Hoover has also shown the short and intermediate accuracy that could fit particularly well with Indiana's passing attack. And Hoover won't have to do it alone. Indiana surrounds him with a deep collection of receivers, running backs and offensive linemen, while the tight end competition continues during fall camp. The episode also discusses early impressions of Turbo Richard, Lee Beebe Jr. and Brock Schott as Indiana's offense takes shape. Then we dive into something that might help explain why Curt Cignetti keeps winning. Indiana's practices are short, intense, detailed and extremely efficient. Cignetti doesn't want his players or coaches wasting hours simply for the sake of being at the facility. Could that approach help prevent burnout, keep players fresh and even become another recruiting advantage for the Hoosiers? Are you buying Josh Hoover as Indiana's next successful quarterback?
