Indiana finally makes the QB change it resisted with Josh Hoover
Indiana turned to Grant Wilson at QB after Josh Hoover took a hit late in the first half and struggled against Minnesota.
In Indiana's Week 9 college football game against Minnesota, the Hoosiers made a surprising change at quarterback in the second half. Starting quarterback Josh Hoover did not start the second half after taking a hit in the first half that kept him down for a brief moment. Instead, backup Grant Wilson led the first team onto the field, with the Hoosiers trailing 10-7.
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti explained that Indiana was down by three points, not 30, and did not lose their minds. The move came after Hoover, who had been banged up over the past two weeks, took a hit at the end of the first half. He was listed as probable on the final injury report ahead of kickoff. Despite a disappointing first half, Hoover finished 8-of-19 passing for 119 yards and a touchdown, including a 9-yard pass to Nick Marsh in the third series.
He also picked off a pass in the first half. Cignetti stated that the decision to stick with Hoover was because it had been Josh's season, even though he was not 100%.
