WATCH OUT: Curt Cignetti Just Sent a LOUD Message to the Rest of College Football!

Curt Cignetti likes what he's seeing from the Indiana Football defense—and his latest comments should get the attention of the rest of college football. After questions surrounding the Hoosiers defense following Week 1, Indiana responded with a dominant shutout against Howard. The Hoosiers piled up five sacks, 12 tackles for loss, forced a pick-six and rarely allowed Howard to cross midfield. Jacob Goins breaks down Cignetti's comments about the defense getting “back where we used to be,” what the improvement could mean for Indiana's national championship ceiling and why Bryant Haines' defense could continue getting better. Plus, we have important Indiana injury updates. Cignetti says Jamari Sharpe is ready to go, while AJ Harris remains day-to-day. Jacob discusses when both starting cornerbacks could return, the latest on Trevor Gibbs and how Indiana should handle its injured players before Big Ten play. Finally, should Indiana fans be concerned about the special teams mistakes against Howard? Jacob breaks down Tyler Morris' two muffed punts and why Cignetti doesn't appear overly concerned.
