  "account": "Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti refutes Monday morning quarterbacking on social media regarding Josh Hoover's performance in a recent game. Though Hoover accumulated 275 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-0 victory over Western Kentucky, he faced criticism for some missed throws. Cignetti defended his quarterback and emphasized the unfair scrutiny Hoover is currently facing. After reviewing the game tape, Cignetti pointed out that Hoover missed only one throw, which was due to a poor pick-up of a blitz at running back and overthrows. He also mentioned that the team had issues with route execution and decisions. Despite the criticism, Cignetti expressed his satisfaction with Hoover's role as the starting quarterback.",
