Indiana prepares to face former quarterback Tayven Jackson and North Texas

Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti is preparing his team for a Week 1 matchup against North Texas, a program that has added over 70 new players this offseason. A focal point for the Hoosiers is opposing quarterback Tayven Jackson, who started six games for Indiana over the previous two seasons. Jackson was recently named the starter for North Texas by new coach Neal Brown. The Indiana staff remains familiar with his athletic abilities, having coached him through his stints as a starter in Bloomington. Jackson takes over the North Texas offense from former quarterback Drew Mestemaker, who transferred to Oklahoma State following the departure of previous coach Eric Morris. Indiana looks to use their scouting familiarity to defend against a North Texas roster undergoing significant transition.
