BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — The Indiana Hoosiers expect quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to start their Sept. 4 season opener at Iowa. And with Penix back from another season-ending knee injury, coach Tom Allen expects his team to build on the success they had in 2020. Indiana completed its most successful season since the late 1960s but fell short of reaching the Big Ten championship game — a goal they hope to achieve this season.
