TRENDING: Josh Hoover OUT as Indiana's Starting QB, Grant Wilson Needs to Be QB1 Moving Forward!

Grant Wilson EARNED Indiana Football's starting quarterback job! After Curt Cignetti benched Josh Hoover against Minnesota, the Hoosiers now enter a critical bye week with a massive QB decision ahead of their matchup against USC. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why he believes Grant Wilson should be Indiana's starting quarterback moving forward and why Josh Hoover's struggles have reached a breaking point. Indiana escaped Minnesota with a 23-16 overtime victory, but the biggest story was the quarterback change. Hoover struggled in the first half before Wilson entered and helped spark the offense, ultimately delivering the game-winning touchdown pass to Charlie Becker. Jacob breaks down Hoover's season-long inconsistency, why the problems began before his recent injuries, and how Wilson changed the energy of Indiana's offense. Did Grant Wilson just earn QB1? Should Curt Cignetti give Wilson all the first-team practice reps during Indiana's bye week? PLUS: Indiana Football desperately needs to get healthy before hosting USC on November 14. Jacob discusses the latest injury concerns involving Josh Hoover, Turbo Richard, Rolijah Hardy and A.J. Harris. With USC's dangerous passing attack approaching, Indiana needs its defensive starters healthy and ready. We also break down the Hoosiers' biggest bye-week priorities, including offensive execution, quarterback preparation, special teams, play calling and game management. Indiana still has national championship aspirations, but can Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers make the necessary adjustments before the final three regular-season games against USC, Washington and Purdue? #indianafootball #iufb #indianahoosiers #curtcignetti #bigtenfootball 00:00 Why Grant Wilson Should Replace Josh Hoover 01:03 Indiana's Overtime Win Against Minnesota 01:27 Why Josh Hoover Was Benched 02:46 Hoover's Struggles Started Before His Injuries 03:41 Why Grant Wilson Earned the Starting Job 04:37 Wilson Changed Indiana's Offense 05:49 Cignetti Finally Makes the QB Change 06:22 Grant Wilson's Performance and Stats 07:23 Why Indiana Must Move Forward With Wilson 08:10 The Bye Week Creates a Perfect Opportunity 14:17 Indiana Finally Gets Its Bye Week 15:41 Why This Bye Week Is Different 16:43 Wilson Needs First-Team Practice Reps 17:14 Indiana's Defense Needs Rest 18:03 USC Preparation and Injury Concerns 18:23 Josh Hoover's Health 19:02 Turbo Richard and the Running Backs 19:35 Rolijah Hardy and A.J.
