Indiana place kicker Nico Radicic missed the team's 55-0 victory over Howard on Saturday due to a rib injury. Head coach Curt Cignetti confirmed that Radicic, the reigning Big Ten kicker of the year, reported the injury Thursday morning. Although he dressed for the game, Radicic did not participate in the win. Troy transfer Paddy McAteer handled kicking duties in his absence, recording eight point-after attempts and missing one.
