Josh Hoover replaced by Grant Wilson during Indiana's overtime win over Minnesota
Summary

Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti substituted starting quarterback Josh Hoover with backup Grant Wilson during a 23-16 overtime victory against Minnesota on Saturday. Hoover was shaken up in the first half after a hit from Zack Harden while he was dealing with a prior injury to his throwing arm. Cignetti's decision to make the change came at halftime, responding to the offense's struggle to gain momentum. Wilson successfully helped the team push into overtime, ultimately securing the win. Indiana now enters an open week that allows Hoover time to recover from his injury and gives Cignetti time to evaluate the quarterback situation.
