The Indiana Hoosiers' search for elite offensive line talent hits a roadblock, raising questions about their championship aspirations despite a dominant playoff run. Can Curt Cignetti’s squad fill critical offensive line roster gaps via the Transfer Portal, or will IU’s 2026 offensive line likely be a downgrade from 2025?
Jacob Goins and Brian Smith break down Indiana’s aggressive Transfer Portal activity, discuss high-profile recruiting wins from Ohio and Kentucky, and debate the impact of NIL on high school prospects.
They preview the Hoosiers’ showdown against Miami Hurricanes in the national title game, spotlight Miami’s defensive front, key injuries in the Hurricanes’ secondary, and Mendoza’s record-setting accuracy. Key insights include Indiana’s recruiting surge, offensive line transfer concerns, and whether Cignetti’s evaluation system gives the Hoosiers a lasting edge. Can Indiana’s offense outsmart Miami’s pass rush and claim football’s biggest prize?
