Indiana football heads into Week 4 of the 2026 season at 3-0 overall following non-conference routs of North Texas, Howard and Western Kentucky. The Hoosiers remain in the top-five of the AP Top 25 and Coaches' poll heading into Big Ten play. Peegs.com's Jared Kelly is back with his weekly Midweek Musings column to offer his thoughts on all the latest happenings with IU football, college football and more. The only rule with this weekly column is there are no rules. This is meant to take on an informal, conversational style, as if you and I were sitting around a coffee shop and talking ball. This week, we take a deeper look at the "unfair scrutiny" Josh Hoover has faced following comments made by Curt Cignetti. We also dive into the great debate surrounding IU's crowd leaving games early, why it's happening, and if it can be easily corrected. So with all of the pleasantries and introductions out of the way... grab a seat, kick up your feet, maybe grab a beverage and let's chat about the Hoosiers.
