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. The Hoosiers were also without starting cornerbacks Jamari Sharpe and A.J. Harris, who have been managing unspecified injuries since the team's previous game against North Texas. Cignetti currently lists all three players as day-to-day as the team prepares for upcoming competition.
