BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana football team will host Eastern Illinois in the team's home opener on Saturday, Sept. 7, at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on BTN.
Each week, we will compile quotes and storylines from the past week and preview the upcoming one.
Head Coach Tom Allen
"Important to get the win. Much to get cleaned up. Much to improve off of and really want to really do a great job as a staff today with our guys and really do a great job of being very good critiques of what we're doing and understand that you build off the positive, you correct the negatives and you get better and there's a lot of improvement from week one to week two, and we always hear that and it is true and always needs to happen."
QB Michael Penix Jr.
"I feel like I did pretty well controlling the offense, making sure we always knew what plays we were in, what situations we were in. I felt good doing that. For things to improve on, just continue to execute the small things – the little things mean the most."
LB Reakwon Jones
"It's real exciting, real refreshing. Finally get to get out there in front of the home crowd and just be in our stadium where we've played and practiced a lot. I think it's going to be good for the guys and, hopefully, bring them more confidence. Be able to play and fix mistakes in front of our home crowd and show them we can do this and we're ready."
TE Peyton Hendershot
"It's very exciting. My hope is that we keep getting better and better and week-by-week we keep getting W's, because it's a good feeling when you win. It's a lot better than losing football games."
LB Micah McFadden
"I can't wait. I think we're all ready, getting prepared for the home crowd to be there. I think everyone is pumped and can't wait."
K Logan Justus
"I'm very excited to finally start home games and see the home fans and everything."
