Hello Hoosier fans and welcome to our weekly news roundup, where we’ll feature the biggest headlines and opinion pieces pertaining to Indiana football, men’s and women’s basketball, and everything else.

Another light week of football news, the biggest story being that Tom Allen no longer plans to redshirt freshman quarterback Donaven McCulley following Michael Penix’s injury. Opinion sections across the media landscape are unanimous: the offense is atrocious. AP basketball rankings came out, which we covered here and the men’s team may gain another important recruit tomorrow in Jakai Newton, so the news week isn’t over from that standpoint. Also of note is the dominance of the Men’s soccer defense over the last five games.
