Indiana Hoosiers
Head Coach: Curt Cignetti (2nd year)
Offensive Coordinator: Mike Shanahan
Defensive Coordinator: Bryant Haines
Spring Game: 23-Apr-2026
2026 Schedule
Most Likely: 9-3(expected 9.1)The defending national champions (16-0) face the steepest reload in recent memory after losing 17 players including No. 1 overall pick QB Fernando Mendoza, leading receiver Omar Cooper Jr., and CB D'Angelo Ponds. Coach Curt Cignetti brings in TCU transfer QB Josh Hoover (9,629 career pass yds, 71 TDs) and leans on elite returners like OT Carter Smith, DT Tyrique Tucker, and DB Amare Ferrell. The program's first-ever national title creates a recruiting/portal advantage, but replacing a perfect season's worth of talent in one offseason is unprecedented.
