Curt Cignetti Opens Up on Benching Josh Hoover After Recent Struggles Put Indiana at Risk

Indiana found a way to keep its winning run alive against Minnesota, but Josh Hoover completed fewer than half his passes before a hard hit forced a halftime decision. What followed was a change at quarterback that helped the Hoosiers turn things around and eventually secure a hard-fought overtime win. Hoover started the game but didn’t return after the break, with head coach Curt Cignetti turning to his backup, Grant Wilson, instead. Indiana eventually came away with a 23-16 win, but the decision to bench its starting quarterback quickly became the main talking point.
