Indiana vs. Minnesota: Hoosier Football Tailgate Pregame Primer LIVE at 1:30 PM

The Indiana Hoosiers return to Memorial Stadium this afternoon looking to regain their offensive momentum against a dangerous Minnesota Golden Gophers team.

Join Coach Griff LIVE at 1:30 PM ET Saturday, October 31, for the Hoosier Football Tailgate Pregame Primer, leading up to Indiana’s 3:30 PM kickoff against Minnesota on CBS.

Can Indiana Get Back to 200 Yards Rushing?

One of the biggest storylines heading into today’s matchup is Indiana’s running game. Coach Griff’s focus is a 200-yard rushing performance—a benchmark associated with Indiana’s success under Curt Cignetti.

Following a 13–6 overtime victory at Michigan, Indiana needs to reestablish its offensive identity. Josh Hoover’s health, improved offensive-line play and a more physical rushing attack will be central to today’s discussion.

Minnesota arrives with confidence after victories over three opponents ranked at the time of their meetings: Washington, Michigan and Iowa. PJ Fleck’s Golden Gophers have demonstrated they can compete with quality opponents, making this a critical matchup for Indiana.
