Josh Hoover News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Hoosiers | FOX Sports

Two total touchdowns Hoover was 19-for-29 passing for 201 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 29-23 win over Northwestern. He also had six rushes for one yard with one touchdown.

Impact While his numbers certainly weren't prolific, Hoover did what the Hoosiers needed against a game Northwestern squad. The 6-foot-2 senior connected with receiver Nick Marsh on an eight-yard scoring strike in the second quarter, building a 12-0 lead for the Hoosiers at the half. While things tightened up in the second half, Hoover got the job done, contributing a one-yard rushing touchdown in the final minutes of the game to essentially put things out of reach. Better days lie ahead for Hoover and the Hoosiers, starting with a road battle against Rutgers on Saturday.

Four scores vs Bison Hoover was 6-for-11 passing for 145 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 55-0 win versus Howard. He also had six rushes for 18 yards.

Hoover connected with receiver Shazz Preston on a 39-yard scoring strike in the first quarter and found Charlie Becker for a trio of scores on the day, all coming in the first half.
