Injury Clouds Starting Role
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti indicated Monday that the team will not name a starting quarterback for this week's game against USC until later in the week. Josh Hoover remains limited by a throwing-arm issue sustained earlier in the season, and the staff wants to see how he progresses before making a final call.
Backup Steps Up in Recent Outing
Grant Wilson took over in the second half of the team's most recent contest and helped secure the result. Cignetti expressed full confidence in the senior's ability to lead the offense if needed.
Hoover's Recent Struggles
Hoover has thrown for just 200 passing yards across his last two appearances, and his completion rate has dipped below 55 percent in each of his past four starts. The transfer arrived with strong early numbers, including 18 touchdown passes and completion marks above 65 percent in four of his first five outings.
