Cignetti’s critiques after Hoover’s 4 TD debut: The “culture shock” IU football’s QB wanted
Fernando Mendoza quickly learned to not look forward to watching a highlight moment on film, or wait for a pat on the back from Curt Cignetti after a big play.

One of Curt Cignetti’s favorite mantras is “how you do something is how you do everything.” For the IU head coach, it seems that guiding principle extends beyond the football field.

Trayce Jackson-Davis says he ignored Mike Woodson’s request to stop bringing the ball up
Trayce Jackson-Davis could have used a fifth year in college to push his name higher up NBA Draft boards. And the door to return to Indiana was of course wide open.

IU football notebook: Week one once again no cause for concern
If you’ve learned nothing else in two-plus seasons watching the Curt Cignetti-led Indiana Hoosiers, you know this: Don’t sweat the first game.
