Humble and Hungry: Hoosiers Look Past Championship Glory
6 Sep
Summary
- Indiana football team unveiled a 2025 championship banner.
- Players expressed focus on the current season, not past victories.
- Coach emphasized staying 'humble and hungry' to avoid complacency.
The Indiana Hoosiers, ranked sixth, recently unveiled a 2025 championship banner at Memorial Stadium. This occurred prior to their decisive 52-16 victory against North Texas on Saturday. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, including a crowd sing-along to "We Are The Champions," the team's players appeared unfazed.
Indiana players indicated their focus is firmly on the present season. Linebacker Isaiah Jones stated he barely noticed the banner, emphasizing the team's drive to compete. Receiver Charlie Becker echoed this sentiment, admitting he didn't even know a banner was being raised. He highlighted the team's disinterest in reflecting on past seasons and their commitment to winning now.
Coach Curt Cignetti's offseason message of staying "humble and hungry" has evidently resonated. This approach aims to counteract any complacency following their undefeated previous season. Both Jones and Becker exemplify this mindset, with Jones stressing the importance of the 11 players on offense locking into the current game's demands.
