For Indiana, this game is less about the opponent and more about proving discipline, execution, and composure under the weight of expectations. The Hoosiers have the talent to win decisively. But if they let Old Dominion hang around, Memorial Stadium could quickly turn from celebration to shock.

Final Word For Indiana, this game is less about the opponent and more about proving discipline, execution, and composure under the weight of expectations. The Hoosiers have the talent to win decisively. But if they let Old Dominion hang around, Memorial Stadium could quickly turn from celebration to shock.

Shannon Griffith, better known as Coach Griff, brings nearly three decades of football experience to his coverage of Indiana Football. A former college coach for 28 years — including 8 years as the quarterbacks coach at Ball State under Bill Lynch and 13 years as Head Coach at Manchester University — he now applies his knowledge and passion to breaking down the Hoosiers on TheHoosier.com (On3 Network) and as host of the Hoosier Football Tailgate podcast.

When he’s not on the mic or in the film room, Coach Griff can also be heard as a guest or guest-hosting Indiana Sports Beat Radio with Jim Coyle on Ft. Wayne's 1380 The Fan, 97.3 The Ref in Evansville, and other affiliates. His in-depth analysis combines a coach’s eye with a fan’s energy, giving Hoosier Nation a unique look at their team’s journey through the Big Ten and beyond.
