What we’ll cover
Curt Cignetti says Josh Hoover is available and throwing better. Who takes the first snap? I’ll explain why I think Grant Wilson could get the call and what designed quarterback runs would add if he does. We’ll also look at what losing starting right guard Joe Brunner and leading rusher Turbo Richard means for Indiana’s chances of getting its running game back in a groove after the bye.
Coach Griff’s three keys
- Run efficiently and take your shots. Get four yards on first down, then use play-action to give Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker chances downfield.
- Put Jayden Maiava behind the chains. Take away the run and see if Indiana can pressure him with four on third-and-long.
- Win the money down and finish drives. Convert third downs, score touchdowns in the red zone, and make USC settle for field goals.
Bring your questions to the live chat. Who would you start at quarterback, and what play would you call on Indiana’s first snap?
