## Resource

Indiana Football enters Week 1 with plenty of hype surrounding Curt Cignetti's roster, but one position group isn't getting nearly enough attention: safety. Amare Ferrell returns as one of the most important pieces of Indiana's secondary, but the Hoosiers have intriguing options around him. Byron Baldwin has impressed during fall camp, Preston Zachman brings experience from Wisconsin, and Quan Sanks provides another option in the rotation. The group could once again become a major strength for Indiana's defense. Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's safety room and why the secondary could become a major weapon for the Hoosiers in 2026. Then, TJ Pittinger of the Big Ten Football Addiction Show joins the show to preview Week 1 across college football, including UCLA-Cal, Wisconsin-Notre Dame, Clemson-LSU, Louisville-Ole Miss and more.
