The Peegs Podcast: Focus on Hoosiers as Howard comes to town
- WR/LB: Indiana whipped North Texas in Week One, but the Hoosiers weren't really dominant, and the focus will be on IU's ability to overwhelm a much-lesser opponent in the Howard Bison.

Indiana Football PFF grades and snap counts: vs. North Texas
- Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover earned a 92.9 PFF offensive grade against North Texas, the only Hoosier offensive player above 90 who played most of the game rather than a very small reserve sample.
- Indiana's offensive-line grades were uneven, with Drew Evans and Bray Lynch at 83.5 and 81.3 in pass blocking versus Carter Smith's 48.9, while no starter reached 69 in run blocking and Lynch was lowest at 53.2.
- Indiana's team run-defense grade was 78.8, with linebacker Rolijah Hardy leading that category at 80.4 and defensive linemen Tobi Osunsanmi, Joe Hjelle and Chiddi Obiazor also grading well against the run.
- Indiana's pass rush received a 54.4 team grade, and its highest individual pass-rush mark was Osunsanmi's 63.3, supporting the report's concern that the defense struggled to pressure North Texas' quarterback.
- Indiana's tackling grade was only 54.0 overall despite stronger individual tackling marks for defensive backs Byron Baldwin at 83.4, Jaylen Bell at 80.7 and Quan Sanks at 79.7.

Piecing together Indiana's two-deep depth chart after Week 1
- Peegs' postgame reconstruction reports that Indiana running back Khobie Martin will miss several weeks, increasing Lee Beebe Jr.'s role behind Turbo Richard while leaving the next reserve spot between Sean Cuono and Jayreon Campbell unsettled.
- Curt Cignetti said Indiana expects to retain Joe Brunner at right guard and Adedamola Ajani at right tackle after using that alignment in the opener, with Austin Leibfried also serving as an extra lineman in jumbo packages.
- After Indiana cornerbacks A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe exited with injuries, Ryland Gandy handled the boundary replacement snaps and Jaylen Bell the field-side snaps, with no deeper cornerback rotation demonstrated after those departures.
- Blake Smythe's injury absence gave Indiana freshman Cam McHaney 22 snaps at three-technique behind Mario Landino, although the report expects Smythe to reclaim that rotational role when healthy.
- Indiana frequently used three linebackers against North Texas' run-heavy offense, bringing Jeff Utzinger into a SAM role and removing the rover from those packages, so the opener did not establish the depth behind starting rover Byron Baldwin Jr.

Not a good weekend for the Refs
- LB: College football better get this cleaned up or there will be some very interesting conversations around the CFP selection

Jacob Savage….i was watching the game and noticed
- DL/LB: the depth chart may still be sorting itself out Zachman did not play very well - Quan Sanks minutes I thought were quite good and maybe he can push for that spot.

Speed on defense
- QB/RB: A few of the sustained drives were on missed assignments, not tackling, not speed.
