No, Josh Hoover is not a problem for Indiana football so far
Josh Hoover entered a pretty interesting situation when he decided to transfer to Indiana. The comparisons to Fernando Mendoza, the Hoosiers’ national championship Heisman-winning quarterback from 2025, would be endless. H’d be under more of a microscope than he ever was at TCU.

Crimson Crank: Nitpicking Indiana’s 29-23 win over Northwestern
With all of the blowout wins over the course of the last two seasons, it’s easy to forget just how much we’ve been made to sweat out. A six-point National Championship win or beating Ohio State by just three points in the Big Ten Championship last year, to name a few. But there have also […]
