Lincoln Riley just gave Indiana Football some major praise ahead of Saturday's showdown between the Hoosiers and USC! The Trojans' head coach highlighted Indiana's impressive defensive-front depth, and it could be the biggest advantage Curt Cignetti's team has in this matchup.

On Locked On Hoosiers HIT, we break down Riley's comments about Indiana's defense, why the Hoosiers' defensive-line rotation is so important, and how Indiana can challenge USC quarterback Jayden Maiava.

Indiana is allowing just over 12 points and fewer than 260 yards per game, with 32 sacks entering the USC matchup. Can the Hoosiers' defense lead the way to another huge victory?

Plus, Lincoln Riley says USC is preparing for BOTH Indiana quarterbacks! We discuss the uncertainty surrounding Josh Hoover and Grant Wilson, why Wilson deserves serious consideration after helping Indiana beat Minnesota, and what the Hoosiers need offensively to defeat USC.

Who should start at quarterback for Indiana against USC: Josh Hoover or Grant Wilson?
