Indiana football opened 2026 with a commanding 52-16 win over North Texas, powered by a stellar debut from quarterback Josh Hoover, who connected with seven different receivers and even threw a TD while bloodied. The offense showed promise despite run-game struggles, while special teams dazzled with an A+ performance, highlighted by kicker Nico Radicic’s career-high 49-yard field goal and explosive returns. Defense, however, struggled with a C-minus grade after losing both starting cornerbacks before halftime — a glaring issue to fix. Hoover’s MVP-level play sets the tone for a promising season ahead.
