Indiana has a quarterback problem, and head coach Curt Cignetti just made a big move to fix it, benching Josh Hoover at halftime of the Hoosiers’ game against Minnesota on Saturday. Trailing 10-7 at the break, it was Grant Wilson who took over under center.
The Halftime Hook and Hoover’s Numbers
Talk about a sudden change! With the Hoosiers down by just a field goal going into the locker room, Cignetti pulled the trigger, signaling that Indiana might indeed have a serious quarterback problem brewing. Hoover’s numbers from that first half tell part of the story: he was 8 for 19 on pass attempts, throwing for 119 yards. He did manage one touchdown toss, but also threw one interception. Clearly, those stats weren’t enough to keep him in the game, and now we’re watching a full-blown QB battle unfold.
