Because he's not Fernando Mendoza, Josh Hoover is hugely underrated.

At this point a year ago, Fernando had 17 TD and 2 INT on 153 attempts. Hoover has 17 INT and 0 INT on 129 attempts. Hoover has 24 fewer attempts, about a full game difference.

I think if people went back and watched the first six games of last year with no knowledge of how the season turns out, they'd feel the same way about Mendoza as many of the doubters do about Hoover right now.

The standards have changed for a lot of Indiana fans. After an undefeated national champion Heisman winner, that's not a fair bar to judge the next QB against. It's virtually impossible to exceed or even match that level. Josh Hoover is a great, great college quarterback right now and we're lucky to have him with our team.

Hey Hoosiers — earlier this summer I put together a music project inspired by IU football culture and the energy around fall in Indiana. It’s something I made out of pure Hoosier pride, built around the atmosphere we all know: rivalry weeks, late‑night games, and that underdog fight that defines us. The project tells the story of our championship season.

See the comments for how to experience it for yourself.

Go Hoosiers!
