## Resource

Indiana Football is a massive favorite against Howard, but Saturday is about much more than the final score. Jacob Goins joins TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction to break down what Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers need to improve before Big Ten play arrives. Josh Hoover impressed in his Indiana debut, but questions remain around the defensive front, open-field tackling, offensive line and depth after the season opener against North Texas. Can Indiana's defense respond after a frustrating Week 1 performance? Can Tyler Morris and Shazz Preston emerge behind Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker? And how quickly should Indiana get Josh Hoover off the field against Howard? Plus, Jacob and TJ discuss their biggest Big Ten Week 1 takeaways, including Michigan, Washington, Oregon and Wisconsin, before predicting just how ugly Indiana vs. Howard could become. Subscribe to Locked On Hoosiers and Big Ten Football Addiction for more Indiana and Big Ten Football coverage.
