"It's going to be great," Indiana's new co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Matt Guerrieri said. "Can't wait to see all the Indiana fans, be able to show up and be able to go to our beautiful Memorial Stadium and spend time and put real football on display. It's going to be fun. I view game day as I'm a behind-the-scenes operator, and I let the guys go out and compete and play as hard as they can. I'm looking forward to that and being able to interact with fans for the first time. I think that's what makes college football unique, is that type of interaction and time spent together. Definitely looking forward to that."

Allen and the Hoosiers are looking to bounce back from a 4-8 season in 2022, and it's been an offseason with major roster changes due to graduation and the transfer portal. Jaylin Lucas returns for his sophomore season after earning first-team All-American honors as a kick returner in 2022, and Tayven Jackson, the brother of Indiana basketball star Trayce Jackson-Davis, is competing with Brendan Sorsby for the starting quarterback job.
