Was Josh Hoover REALLY Benched? Curt Cignetti's Next Move Is HUGE

Indiana football faces a huge QB decision: Curt Cignetti must weigh Josh Hoover's injury against Grant Wilson's Minnesota comeback before USC. Charlie Becker helped save the Indiana Hoosiers, but could this Big Ten football controversy actually be good news?

After Indiana's 23-16 overtime victory over Minnesota, questions are growing about who should start at quarterback. Was Josh Hoover actually benched for his performance, or was his throwing-arm injury the real reason Grant Wilson took over?

In this episode of The Big Ten Huddle, we examine Hoover's struggles since the Ohio State game, Wilson's incredible late-game performance, and why Cignetti's decision during the bye week could have major implications for Indiana's College Football Playoff hopes.

Should Hoover get his job back if he's healthy, or has Wilson earned the opportunity to start against USC on November 14?
