You expect mistakes in week one, and Indiana had plenty of them. From interceptions, to dropped passes, kickoffs out of bounds and missed tackles, IU showed plenty of room for improvement against Ball State.

Indiana has reached into North Carolina in the class of 2021. Could this be the early work of new assistant coach Mike Roberts, who spent eight years at UNC Greensboro?
