Indiana prepares for week two football game against Howard
Summary

Indiana hosts Howard at Memorial Stadium this Saturday for a week two matchup. The Hoosiers enter the contest 1-0 following a 52-16 win over North Texas, while the Bison arrive with a 1-1 record after falling to the Richmond Spiders. Head coach Curt Cignetti identified the need for improved offensive and defensive line performance after an unpolished week one showing. Indiana will be without running back Khobie Martin, requiring increased contributions from other members of the backfield. The defense faces a challenge in containing Howard quarterback Ja’Shawn Scroggins, who leads his team in both passing and rushing yards. Indiana seeks to extend a 17-game winning streak as they integrate younger players into the rotation.
