Indiana Hoosiers football dropped one spot to No. 21 overall in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll after its scare against Old Dominion. The poll was released Tuesday morning.

Indiana's 27-14 win over Old Dominion on Saturday in front of 47,109 fans at a packed Memorial Stadium wasn't pretty but they got the job done. A much better game needs to be played against Kennesaw State on Saturday in order for Indiana not to fall again in next weeks rankings.

“A little bit like Groundhog Day, to be honest,” Cignetti said on Monday. “Like FIU (last year), dominate the game, not reflective in the scoreboard. Not happy with the way the offense played in the second half of FIU in the red area in this game, and the fans left at halftime. But it all felt like Groundhog Day to me.”

With expectations and excitement level at an all-time high for the Indiana fan base, the anxious energy and feeling of ‘wanting more’.
