- getting tired of making this point but one more: 14 of Indiana's 22 starters last night, including their top 3 receivers, top rusher, & guys who got the punt block/INT/sack & 6/7 PBUs are Cignetti recruits (JMU included) or Indiana lifers. they beefed up the OL & got a QB in the portal. that's it!Jan 20, 2026 18:39
