Heard on The Hoosier

TheHoosier.com's Taylor Lehman sits down with Jason Galloway of the Wisconsin State Journal and Andrew Hussey of the Indiana Daily Student to discuss significan ttopics surrounding the matchup between IU and No. 4 Wisconsin on Saturday, including Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor's health and the quarterback position at IU.

On this episode of CrimsonCast, Galen is joined by longtime CrimsonCast contributor Evan Frederick, and we evaluate the 2017 IU football team at what is effectively the midway point of the season. We look at statistical comparisons between this year's team and previous iterations, talk about the changeover at quarterback, and discuss the reality of the schedule from this point onward. We also delve into the Michigan matchup somewhat, discussing what Michigan's offensive woes mean and whether IU's own offensive struggles can be overcome in a pivotal game for both teams.

Jordan Wells is joined by football recruiting writer Taylor Lehman to talk IU's latest commitments, the class as a whole and more looking ahead to a big visitors weekend.

  Galen and Scott match up for a combo football/basketball podcast, and there's a lot to talk about, starting with a focus on the Penn State game and whether the performance was disappointing, expected, or both. They move on to talking about the change in starting quarterback (19:25), whether it was the right time, and what it will mean moving forward. They then switch to basketball, and start off with a conversation about the FBI investigation into the NCAA, what to expect out of it, and what might change as a result. The final segment focuses entirely on Indiana basketball (49:15), as we talk about Media Day reaction, how the individual pieces of the IU roster might improve, how Archie Miller is getting back to basics, and why preseason prognostications for this team might be so low.

Host Stu Jackson is joined by Rivals Midwest Recruiting Analyst Josh Helmholdt for insight on the kind of player redshirt freshman and new IU starting quarterback Peyton Ramsey was out of high school. 

We start off this preview podcast with Taylor Lehman of TheHoosier.com, as we discuss IU's injury situation, the oddity of last year's game, and what IU needs to do this year to have a shot at keeping it close against a top 5 opponent on the road. Galen is then joined by Scott Caulfield, and the focus turns to the team's mentality within the game, whether we can read anything into IU's competitive streak against top Big Ten competition, and what exactly would happen if IU pulls off the upset win.

On this episode of CrimsonCast, Galen talks with TheHoosier.com's Jordan Wells about the implications of the scandal that is rocking NCAA basketball, with particular focus on recruiting, the amateur system, and where the scandal might go in the coming weeks and months.

Finally, Galen describes his theory of origin for the investigation, and the possibilities why it has been so efficient and successful thus far.

Scott and Galen break down the Georgia Southern victory and answer a few reader questions in this Sunday edition of CrimsonCast. Was the IU running attack a harbinger of good times on the horizon or a flash in the pan against a weak opponent? Should there be concerns about the passing game's relative lack of effectiveness? Did we learn anything about the quarterback situation? How was this game reminiscent of a non-conference IU basketball game from the past few years? These questions, and more, answered on this weekend's show. Be sure to follow @CrimsonCast for updates on shows and to ask questions.
