College football analysts dig into possible injury with Indiana quarterback

College football analysts have begun investigating the potential injury affecting Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover. Indiana coach Curt Cignetti received an additional week to evaluate the situation. Hoover was substituted for struggling Josh Hoover at halftime during the team's overtime victory over Minnesota. Grant Wilson not only completed the game but also scored the decisive touchdown on the overtime opening play.

After suffering an injury on October 17th during a game against Ohio State, Hoover has completed 46.8% of his passes for 496 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in his most recent three contests. The Hoosiers fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes 19-15, then won overtime games against Michigan and Minnesota. Two former college quarterbacks have noticed both physical and possibly confidence-related concerns with Hoover.

Danny Kanell, known for his college football career at Florida State in the 1990s, believes that Hoover's injury is worse than the team is admitting. He pointed out that many of Hoover's throws appeared awkward, and he believed the quarterback was injured more significantly than initially thought. Kanell also expressed concerns about Hoover's confidence due to the speculation surrounding his injury.

Former quarterback Joel Klatt, a Fox lead college football analyst, added that Hoover might be struggling with accuracy, particularly in the upper part of his throws, which could be impacting his confidence. Kanell emphasized that Indiana's success will depend on Hoover's recovery and whether his health improves.
