After a memorable meeting last November, the Hoosiers and Golden Eagles reportedly would like to see more of one another. Ben Steele of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel appears to have been the first to report that Marquette and Indiana will play in a closed-door “secret scrimmage” on October 20. https://twitter.com/BenSteeleMJS/status/1166006630548418566?s=20 Indiana did not include any exhibition games or scrimmages in the full 2019-20 schedule that was released last month. The Hoosiers hosted Marquette last year in connection with the 2018 Gavitt Games and had their best game of the season in a 96-73 blowout win. The Golden Eagles played well…

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. But the Hoosiers also have something else that they’ve now accomplished in 14 of the last 16 years — a season opening win. Despite a day filled with miscues, the Hoosiers had one player that was perfect. Logan Justus’ 50-yard field goal, his fourth of the game on four attempts, gave IU a 34-24 lead with 2:15 left, and their first hint of breathing room in…
