Rhett Lewis (NFL Network) rolls out The Big Red Carpet to recap Indiana’s 27–14 Week 1 win over Old Dominion. What impressed, what needs cleaning up, and how it all sets the tone for September—plus a quick look ahead to Kennesaw State and the return of Dexter Williams to Bloomington.

Highlights:

• Defense controlled the day outside a couple QB keepers

• Run game punch from Roman Hemby & Kaelon Black behind a cohesive OL

• Red-zone/goal-to-go miscues and the fixes IU can make fast

• QB growth curve: timing, rhythm, and comfort in the system

• Special teams spark (punt return TD) and more tight end involvement

• Big Ten whiparound: who looked real in Week 1

• Kennesaw State preview: force throws, win 3rd down, keep Dex in the well
