Indiana Hoosiers ignite controversy as defensive coordinator Bryant Haines fires back at Alabama fans, stirring up social media after former Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson claims he could read every play in the College Football Playoff rout.

Plus, a look ahead to the Hoosiers’ spring game—what will Josh Hoover bring under center, can key transfers bolster the roster, and is preseason disrespect fueling the reigning champions? ESPN’s low preseason ranking has the Hoosiers at No. 6—will Curt Cignetti’s squad set out to prove they’re still the nation’s best? Don’t miss this high-energy breakdown of Indiana’s quest to defend their title.
