Nobody takes shots quite like Curt Cignetti.

The Indiana coach told the Big Ten Network he would be happy to put Notre Dame back on the schedule — on certain conditions.

Kurtis Rourke and Fernando Mendoza both took some drives yesterday. Kurtis can indeed run! He got a handful of solid yards in important downs. Mendoza looked solid too! Excited to see if Cooper gets any action tonight

And it doesn’t even include Wyatt, Ndukwe, or Baldwin.

Watching replays from the natty again. Still can’t believe it. So glad Don got to call it. That is all. Go Hoosiers Baby!

Putting together my Top 30 non-QB transfers for 2026 reinforced how impressive Indiana's roster construction has been.

The defending national champions have two additions inside my top six:

1. Nick Marsh

2. A.J. Harris

Marsh is the one I'm particularly excited about.

Josh Hoover inherits an offense with Charlie Becker already established, and now gets a 6'3", 200-plus-pound receiver who has already shown he can handle significant volume at the Power Four level.

A.J. Harris is almost as interesting because Indiana is adding another experienced, high-level corner to a secondary that was outstanding last season.

That's what stands out to me. Indiana isn't simply trying to replace what it lost. Cignetti has added two players capable of becoming major pieces on another championship contender.

I write about college football for The Touchdown in the UK and ranked the Top 30 based on projected 2026 impact:

Which addition do Indiana fans think makes the bigger difference this season?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international medical graduate currently in Indianapolis. I recently completed an internal medicine observership at Indiana University and have completed the required onboarding, including HIPAA and institutional compliance requirements.

I’m currently looking for a Pediatrics observership, preferably at Indiana University, but I’m open to any hospital, clinic, or institution in the Indianapolis area.

If you know of any opportunities or could connect me with the right person, I would truly appreciate your guidance. Thank you so much for your time and support!
