  "account": "PISCATAWAY, New Jersey - October 3, 2026 - Indiana football enters the matchup against Minnesota with some concerns about their offense. The Hoosier offense faced difficulties against Nebraska and Ohio State, with the running game struggling and the passing game not at full strength. Quarterback Josh Hoover has shown signs of injury, completing only half of his passes against Ohio State and suffering a throwing arm injury in the second half of the game against Michigan. Despite this, fans remain confident in Hoover, with only 47% favoring a change to backup Grant Wilson. Indiana is favored by 20 points according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and their offense may flex the pass if the running backs perform well.",
