Hoosiers' Josh Hoover dazzles in four-TD debut as starting QB

Josh Hoover, a fifth-year senior and former TCU quarterback, threw for 231 yards and four touchdowns (13-of-16, 81.2%) in his Indiana starting debut, guiding the Hoosiers to a 52-16 win over North Texas and playing through a bloodied face. The performance marks a rare four-TD first start for Indiana and continues the program’s trend of landing transfer quarterbacks under coach Curt Cignetti, following Kurtis Rourke and Fernando Mendoza (the article notes Mendoza won the 2025 Heisman and helped Indiana win a national title).
