Josh Hoover led No. 6 Indiana to a commanding 52-16 victory over North Texas in their season opener, throwing for 231 yards and four touchdowns, including a 15-yard score on his first pass. Turbo Richard contributed with two rushing touchdowns, helping the defending national champions extend their winning streaks. Despite Indiana’s strong performance, coach Curt Cignetti noted areas for improvement, such as penalties and defense. North Texas, under new coach Neal Brown, managed to control the time of possession but couldn’t capitalize on it. Their quarterback, Tayven Jackson, performed well despite a brief injury scare. Indiana lost three key players to injuries during the game. North Texas will host UNLV next, while Indiana will face Howard.
