Cignetti Got It RIGHT | Inside Indiana's QB Decision that Cignetti Mastered

Indiana football nearly replaced injured Josh Hoover with Grant Wilson against Michigan football. Curt Cignetti considered a QB change before the Hoosiers’ 13–6 OT win. Does IU football have a College Football Playoff backup plan?

In this episode of The Big Ten Huddle, we explain why Curt Cignetti stuck with Josh Hoover against Michigan, how Hoover's injury affected Indiana's passing attack, and why Grant Wilson could give offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan a valuable alternative if the Hoosiers need one.

We break down Wilson's experience, the potential of a quarterback run package, the role of Indiana's defense, and what the win means for the Hoosiers' national championship hopes. Plus, what should Indiana do with Hoover heading into Minnesota, USC, and Washington?

This isn't about starting a quarterback controversy. It's about understanding how Indiana can protect its championship chances.

Would you have made the quarterback switch against Michigan, or did Cignetti make the right call?
