BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana fans will get their first look at the Hoosiers under new head coach Curt Cignetti in the upcoming spring game.
Indiana's spring football game is scheduled for Thursday, April 18th at 8pm ET at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network, with appearances by Matt Schumacher (play-by-play), Rhett Lewis (analyst) and Pat Boylan (sideline).
Indiana University follows a different set of rules than a typical college football game. The roster is divided into defensive and offensive sides, and these sides compete against each other, as opposed to his two teams, which feature both offensive and defensive players.
The game also features a unique scoring format that gives defenses an opportunity to score in ways other than touchdowns.
- Touchdown – 6 points
- Additional points – 1 point
- Field goal – 3 points
- Turnovers earned – 4 points
- Defensive stop – 3 points
- Safety – 2 points
This event is free to the public due to a clear bag policy and parking is available in Lots 2, 4, and 12.
Indiana University's spring game marks the end of the roughly month-long spring practice session. Cininetti was hired on Nov. 30 as the 30th head coach in program history, replacing Tom Allen, who finished 3-9 in 2023 and had a 33-49 record in seven full seasons. Ta.
Cininetti will finish an 11-1 season at James Madison in 2023 and help the Dukes to a 52-9 record in his five seasons coaching them. He brought in several assistant coaches from James Madison, but also retained offensive line coach Bob Bostad and made several outside hires.
Indiana University's 2024 roster is already very different from the 2023 season, with 24 players transferring and 22 new Hoosiers transferring, in addition to a 17-man freshman class. The transfer portal will reopen from April 16th to April 30th, so further roster changes could occur. For a complete overview of Indiana transmission and reception, please visit click here.
