After a long spring and summer, Indiana football is finally set to kick off its 2025 campaign this Saturday afternoon in Bloomington against Old Dominion. The Hoosiers enter Year 2 under Curt Cignetti with plenty of hype after a record-setting 2024 season. Indiana now faces the challenge of proving last year wasn’t a fluke, and the first chance comes against a Monarchs program that hasn’t posted a winning season since 2016. On paper, this is a soft landing for Indiana. But Old Dominion has enough wrinkles on both sides of the ball to provide some useful early tests.
