Justanother_0 2 (!!!) Hoover looks like a perfect fit for Cignetti’s system, and the defense looks to have remained stalwart. We’ll know more about this team when conference play hits, but for now they look to be the favorite to win the B1G.

lowes18 4 Josh Hoover looked amazing this weekend, and Indiana's offensive line looks like yet another elite unit. I did have concerns about the defense, which struggled to stop the run and looked sloppy against a projected bad North Texas team. Given that its week one and Indiana put the game away rather early, I'll give them some slack, but its something to keep an eye on going forward for a team that won the national title with an intelligent and disciplined defense.

Pyromania1983 5 Despite the loss of number 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, new QB Josh Hoover looked great and extremely efficient. A Curt Cignetti team will always be competitive no matter the resources. Defense needs to clean a few things up but definitely a great team.

Result: (W) 52-16 North Texas

Honestly, a little disappointed, which is funny to say after a 36-point win, but felt that the defense wasn't as good as you would hope, and the run game was a bit inconsistent. Josh Hoover played great, though he's a Heisman candidate for sure.

Hoover seems to have stepped into the Cignetti system well. I expected a little better rushing and defensive performance, but UNT was one of the potential G6 CFP bids last year.

outthawazoo 10 Handled a G6 team, but may have some injury issues at corner moving forward.
Tarmacked 10 Similar to Alabama, but the defense did not look hot against a turned over UNT team. Multiple sustained drives should not be happening but roster turnover is a real thing. I'm leaning more towards a 2024 season than I am 2025 in terms of performance but more results will show this.
