Three years ago, the Indiana Hoosiers made NCAA history as the first program to clock 700 losses. Today, that very underdog is winning millions of hearts, pulling off the best Cinderella story college football has ever seen. But success breeds scrutiny, and for Indiana, it came with cheating allegations. Now, star OL Pat Coogan is clearing the air.
“Everyone wants to know what the secret (is), right?” Pat Coogan shares in a conversation with Andy Staples on Saturday. “There is no secret. The secret’s in the work. The secret’s in the prep. There’s no magic pill we take. There’s no, secret book we read that gives us all the keys to success.
“You just got put in the work. You got to put in the prep. You’ve got to put in the hours, and I know it may sound cliché, but that’s at the end of the day, like that’s what it’s really all about.”
The Hoosiers have remained undefeated throughout the season. A perfect 15-0 record, and cheating allegations have made their way across to damage their standing. It all started at the Peach Bowl game. CB D’Angelo Ponds returned the very first play from scrimmage for a pick-six just 11 seconds. Impressed, analyst Chris Fallica mulled over how it’s almost like Indiana knows what play or look is coming almost every down. They’re so well prepped.”
What started as compliments soon spiraled into conspiracy theories. While Bloomington was celebrating, some individuals on social media were not happy.
An X user, going by the name @GoatKiffin, alleged that Cignetti is “hacking into the VEO/Pixellot software to watch practice film of other teams” and infiltrating cloud-based systems where teams store game plans.”
That post soon blew up, garnering thousands of impressions, and Indiana came under harsh spotlight. There is zero evidence regarding the allegations.
The locker room has constantly made it clear that their success lies in their hard work.
This is a developing story…
