Indiana: Curt Cignetti not ready to name starting QB for No.
Indiana · USCJosh Hoover has been Indiana's starting QB this year, but was replaced due to injury by Grant Wilson in the Hoosiers' last game. Indiana replaced quarterback Josh Hoover at halftime of its last game against Minnesota.
The Hoosiers went on to win 23-16 in overtime over the Golden Gophers with backup Grant Wilson under center. Hoover had been dealing with an arm injury, and didn't immediately come out of the locker room after halftime.
Indiana was off last week, giving Hoover more time to recover, but Cignetti is taking his time in naming a starting QB. The former starter may need more time to heal, but Cignetti could also be using a bit of gamesmanship ahead of the upcoming ranked battle against USC.
Hoover is in his first season with Indiana after transferring in from TCU. He has added 54 yards and two additional touchdowns on the ground.
