Indiana football hits the road for the first time in 2026 as the Hoosiers travel to Rutgers, and Galen Clavio is joined by Andrew Garrison and Brooks White from the Hoosier Network to break down what Indiana needs to clean up after the Northwestern game.The group starts with the 29-23 win over Northwestern and why the reaction may have been harsher than the performance warranted. Indiana still answered when it needed to, Lee Beebe Jr. delivered a huge second half, and the defense showed both its strengths and its biggest current issue: finishing plays against mobile quarterbacks.Then it's on to Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights have one of the Big Ten's most dangerous receivers in KJ Duff, while Antwan Raymond's status could materially affect their offense. For Indiana, the priorities are clear: get Josh Hoover and the deep passing game fully in sync with Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh, generate more pressure up front, and prove the secondary can handle a legitimate vertical threat.The episode also covers Turbo Richard's importance, Daniel Ndukwe's status, Indiana's defensive line, and why Rutgers represents one final opportunity to sharpen things before Nebraska and Ohio State.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast and Indiana Hoosiers football coverage.

Indiana hits the road for the first time this season, and Vegas is asking the Hoosiers to lay a lot of points. On this week's CrimsonCASH, Scott and James break down IU at Rutgers, explain why Indiana has become tougher to bet this season, and work through the best betting spots across the Big Ten. 

Dal, Bryno and Deco discuss the IU football season and ask a dangerous question: Are we still allowed to criticize the Hoosiers? The guys also tackle the growing frustration of trying to follow sports across a dozen different streaming services and once again dive into how the WNBA just can't seem to get it right. Plus, Bryno delivers his Great British Bake Off recap and a whole lot more. The Todfather is on assignment.  B3 is brought to you by Red Bones Bar & Grill. B3 is written and produced by Nathanyel Byler, Todd Lancaster, Brent Dalrymple, Mike DeCoursey and Brian Emmons.

Henry chats up Fox 9 News Anchor Kelcey Carlson about being a basketball fan from Indiana, how close she was to the filming of the movie "Hoosiers", her marathon routine, the big stories they're working on and more.

Should Kamario Taylor leave Mississippi State? CBS Sports' Brandon Marcello isn't buying it. He joins The Next Round to break down the Bulldogs' phenom quarterback, college football's best teams, and the biggest storylines across the SEC and Big Ten. From Shane Beamer's situation at South Carolina to questions surrounding Texas' offense and Lincoln Riley's future at USC, we're talking college football rankings, transfer portal speculation, coaching pressure, and potential upsets.

Indiana football has won 20 straight games, and a victory at Rutgers would put the Hoosiers alongside Texas and Washington for the longest FBS winning streak of the 21st century. On this Bison Briefing, Galen Clavio looks at just how dramatically Curt Cignetti has changed Indiana football — and whether the 2026 Hoosiers are actually that far behind last year's championship team statistically.There's plenty happening beyond football. No. 2 Indiana men's soccer hosts No. 4 Maryland in a massive Big Ten matchup, with former Maryland standout Stephane Njike now playing a major role for IU. No. 15 Indiana volleyball takes its 2-0 Big Ten record to No. 6 Wisconsin after getting Avery Tatum back in the lineup.Galen also compares Indiana's 2025 and 2026 offensive and defensive numbers, discusses Josh Hoover's turnover-free start, the pass-rush issues that surfaced against Northwestern, Turbo Richard's status, Tyler Morris, and the possibility of Bryant Haines or Mike Shanahan drawing head-coaching interest.

Hoosier Football Weekly: IU/Northwestern Recap and IU/Rutgers Preview

This is the fifth in a series of six episodes regarding America's first terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan.  Hiram Evans, the tooth puller, made a grave mistake in ceding regional control of his Klan to D.C. Stephenson, a man cloaked in half-lies and full-failures. He would take the Klan to its greatest heights, initiating 1/3rd of all Hoosiers, spinning off into a Women's Klan, and sponsoring 'cutest baby contests.'  His depravity would also result in its sudden downfall, as the Pro-protestant 100% American group comes to grips with the idea that the monster lurks among them.

We react to the Hoosiers escaping an upset-bid Northwestern team this past Friday.

What does ESPN FPI actually measure — and why can its rankings look so different from what you see on the field? Galen Clavio breaks down the difference between FPI Power Index and FPI Efficiency, then uses the latest numbers to evaluate Indiana and the rest of the Big Ten.The key distinction: FPI's power ranking is forward-looking and predictive, incorporating opponent-adjusted results along with preseason information and priors. The efficiency ratings are different — they focus on what teams have actually done so far, adjusting performance for opponent and game situation across offense, defense and special teams.That distinction matters for Indiana football. The Hoosiers are seventh in the current FPI power ranking but tenth in overall efficiency, with a top-10 offense, top-20 defense and much weaker special-teams number. Galen also looks at Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Iowa, USC and Purdue to show how the underlying efficiency data can reveal strengths and weaknesses that the headline ranking does not.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast, Indiana football and college football analysis throughout the season.

The NFL season is underway, and F3 is back with another team-focused episode! This week, Jonathan and Erin turn their attention to the Indianapolis Colts, breaking down the team's first win of the season, the fantasy football chaos of Week 3, and the food traditions of Indiana. They start with a look at another rough week of fantasy football, with injuries continuing to create headaches for managers across the league. Erin admits her roster took a beating, with players including Mike Evans and Dallas Goedert sidelined, while her bench didn't give her many strong options to work with. The duo also look around the NFL, including the number of quarterback injuries early in the season, undefeated teams such as the Vikings and Chiefs, winless teams including the Buccaneers, Dolphins, Titans and Texans, and the surprising 0-3 start for the Los Angeles Chargers. Then it's time to talk about the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts picked up their first win of the season, edging the Houston Texans 19-17 and improving to 1-2. Jonathan and Erin look at the team's challenging opening schedule, including games against the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, and discuss the players to watch as Indianapolis looks to build momentum. A big focus is running back Jonathan Taylor, who has emerged as a key part of the Colts' offence. The episode also takes a look at quarterback Daniel Jones and what his performance could mean for Indianapolis as the season continues. Erin also highlights Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon and her hands-on approach with the team, including her presence on the sidelines during games. Then it's time to head to Indiana's kitchen. Jonathan explores the state's strong agricultural roots, including corn, soybeans and livestock, and the hearty, familiar foods that have become part of Indiana's food culture. From St. Elmo's shrimp cocktail and Hoosier fried chicken to popcorn and sugar cream pie, there are plenty of regional favourites to talk about. And of course, no F3 episode would be complete without the F3 Food Pick of the Week. This week, Jonathan puts together a classic Indianapolis pork tenderloin sandwich — a huge piece of pork tenderloin pounded thin, breaded and fried until crisp and golden, then served on a hamburger bun with toppings such as mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce and tomato. The sandwich is closely associated with Nick's Kitchen in Huntington, Indiana, and its schnitzel-inspired preparation makes it the perfect handheld game-day food. Football. Food. Fantasy. This week, it's all about the Indianapolis Colts and the flavours of Indiana. In This Episode Fantasy football injuries and roster depth Erin's Week 3 fantasy football struggles Quarterback injuries around the NFL The Indianapolis Colts' first win of the season Jonathan Taylor's role in the Colts' offence Daniel Jones and the Colts' quarterback situation Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon Indiana's agricultural food traditions The Indianapolis pork tenderloin sandwich Looking ahead to the Pittsburgh Steelers Fantasy football recovery — and remembering the lucky shirt F3 Podcast — Football • Food • Fantasy Hosted by Jonathan Frazier and Erin Haluschak.

Indiana football is 4-0 after surviving Northwestern 29-23 under the lights at Memorial Stadium. Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield break down a sloppy but revealing Big Ten opener, including Lee Beebe Jr.'s 200-yard rushing performance, Josh Hoover's uneven-but-clutch night, Turbo Richard's injury and a defense that struggled to contain Aidan Chiles in the second half.The Hoosiers made more mistakes than we are accustomed to seeing under Curt Cignetti — eight penalties, missed tackles, red-zone problems and several missed opportunities. But Indiana also responded when the game tightened. Hoover made plays with both his arm and legs, the offense scored on five of its final seven meaningful possessions, and IU leaned almost entirely on the running game to finish the night.Galen and Scott also examine the advanced numbers, Indiana's continuing goal-line problems, the offensive line, the officiating confusion early in the game, and why this performance may ultimately be more correctable than alarming. Plus: game balls, Memorial Stadium observations and a new batch of Scott sidebars.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU Athletics and the Big Ten.

Indiana football opens Big Ten play Friday night against Northwestern, and this is the first matchup of 2026 that should tell us substantially more about the Hoosiers. Galen Clavio breaks down the Wildcats, the advanced metrics, Josh Hoover, Indiana's running game, the secondary, and the matchups that could decide the game.The numbers favor Indiana: the Hoosiers enter highly rated in FPI, SP+ and FEI, while Northwestern has been stronger defensively than offensively through its first two games. The most interesting areas are less straightforward, though. Indiana's rushing success has been inconsistent, third-down efficiency needs improvement, and Northwestern's defense has created takeaways and repeatedly kept opponents out of the end zone.Defensively, the focus is on containing quarterback Aidan Chiles, generating pressure without giving him escape lanes, and seeing how Jamari Sharpe, Jaylen Bell and Ryland Gandy handle a more legitimate passing attack. Galen also looks at the offensive-line development, Northwestern corner Josh Fussell against Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh, and whether Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. can establish the run between the tackles.The episode finishes with the major game-day storylines and Galen's 34-18 Indiana prediction.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics and Big Ten football throughout the season.

Indiana football opens Big Ten play against Northwestern on Friday night, and this looks like a much different test than the Hoosiers' first three games. Galen Clavio is joined by Hoosier Network reporters Andrew Garrison and Brooks White to break down the Wildcats, Indiana's early-season questions, the return of Kellen Wyatt and Stephen Daley, and what to expect from Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh and Charlie Becker.Northwestern enters conference play unbeaten under David Braun, with Chip Kelly's offense giving the Wildcats a new identity. The group discusses how much can actually be learned from Northwestern's small early-season sample, why Indiana should expect every opponent's best shot as defending national champion, and whether some of IU's uneven moments against Western Kentucky were simply part of a team still holding plenty back schematically.On offense, the spotlight turns to Marsh and Becker against a Northwestern secondary that should tighten passing windows more than Indiana's previous opponents. The episode also examines how Wyatt's return raises the ceiling of Bryant Haines' defense and what his role could look like as IU continues sorting out its personnel.Plus, Galen checks in with Indiana volleyball before its Big Ten-opening homestand against UCLA and Maryland, including the team's chemistry, leadership and expectations after a strong nonconference start.

The full Indiana basketball 2026-27 schedule is out, and it gives Darren DeVries and the Hoosiers something they badly need: meaningful résumé opportunities without an overwhelmingly difficult path. Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield break down IU's nonconference slate, the Big Ten schedule, the toughest stretches and what Indiana will need to do to get comfortably back into the NCAA Tournament.The nonconference schedule is a major improvement. Kentucky is back, Arkansas awaits at Madison Square Garden, Syracuse provides another ACC opponent, and Indiana also gets power-conference games against UCF and Missouri. Rather than putting the entire résumé on one massive early-season matchup, IU has multiple opportunities to build a tournament case throughout November and December.Then comes the Big Ten. Indiana opens conference play with Rutgers at Assembly Hall and a trip to Iowa before moving into a January stretch featuring USC, Oregon, Washington, Michigan and more. Galen and Scott discuss why the schedule looks manageable on paper — but also why Indiana's recent history makes it dangerous to assume the Hoosiers will simply bank every game they are supposed to win.A major theme is home-court performance. Indiana gets several of its more difficult opponents at Assembly Hall, including Michigan, Illinois, UCLA and Purdue. If this team wants to move beyond the NCAA Tournament bubble and become a legitimate upper-half Big Ten team, those home games have to become an advantage again.The guys also dig into the current Bart Torvik projections, which see Indiana as a tournament-level team but show just how many close games could determine the season. Galen argues that this year's group needs to learn how to "exceed the median" rather than continually hovering around .500 in Big Ten play.What would a successful regular season look like? Galen sees a path to roughly 23 wins if Indiana lives up to its talent level and takes care of business during the softer sections of the schedule. Scott agrees that the opportunity is there — but the Hoosiers have to stop turning projected wins into coin flips.And basketball is coming quickly. Indiana's exhibition schedule begins in October, meaning football season will still be in full swing when the first real look at DeVries' second IU team arrives.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast and Assembly Call coverage of Indiana basketball, IU football and Hoosier athletics throughout the season.

Indiana football is 3-0 after a 38-0 shutout of Western Kentucky, yet the reaction around the Hoosiers is surprisingly complicated. Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield break down what Indiana actually did well, the growing scrutiny around Josh Hoover, the state of the running game and defensive front, and why a comfortable win can still leave fans wanting more.The box score says domination: Indiana outgained Western Kentucky 513-186 and allowed only 49 yards in the second half. But the game did not always feel that way. Galen and Scott dig into the disconnect between the statistical performance and the eye test, including missed throws, third-down frustrations, inconsistent rushing lanes and a first half that felt flatter than the final score suggests.Charlie Becker provides the highlight of the day with another explosive touchdown, while Hoover becomes the center of the larger conversation. His ball placement was uneven at times, but Galen and Scott push back on the idea that three games are enough to decide what kind of quarterback he can be. His early production remains comparable to where Kurtis Rourke and Fernando Mendoza were at the same stage of their Indiana seasons, and this offense is still learning what its most reliable answers will be.The advanced numbers show a similar story. Indiana's third-down performance against Western Kentucky was a legitimate weakness, but its season-long offensive efficiency remains solid. Turbo Richard flashed again in the running game, while Lee Beebe Jr. had a tougher afternoon as Western Kentucky focused heavily on stopping the run. The tight end room also remains a work in progress as Indiana searches for the kind of dependable third-down option it had in Riley Nowakowski last season.Defensively, the Hoosiers have now pitched two shutouts in three games. Rolijah Hardy continues to emerge at linebacker, while Indiana's defensive line and secondary are still working through personnel changes and early-season injuries. Galen and Scott discuss why there are still things to improve without losing sight of what the defense has actually accomplished.The episode also covers the continuing eligibility uncertainty surrounding Stephen Daley and Kellen Wyatt, Charlie Becker getting a look as a punt returner, Fernando Mendoza's latest State Farm campaign, and a first look at Indiana's Friday-night Big Ten opener against Northwestern.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, Curt Cignetti, Big Ten football and the Hoosiers throughout the 2026 season.
