Curt Cignetti

Packed student sections and sold-out seats are propelling the Hoosiers to new heights this season.

Indiana looks to win its sixth straight game next Saturday at Northwestern. It would be the second-best start to a season ever at Indiana.

The Indiana University football team is 4-0 and has the nation’s fifth-highest scoring offense.

New Indiana coach Curt Cignetti has hired seven assistant coaches and all of his coordinators from his previous staff at James Madison.

Curt Cignetti comes from James Madison University, where he went 52-9 in five seasons, including 11-1 this year as the Dukes earned their first bowl berth.

The 62-year-old Cignetti had a 52-9 record in five seasons at JMU, including an 11-1 record and a No. 24 ranking this season.
