Curt Cignetti addressed the Kurtis Rourke injury, his confidence in Tayven Jackson and other football matters.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti had his weekly press conference in preparation for Washington's visit to Memorial Stadium at Noon ET on Saturday. Indiana is 7-0 going into the contest and 4-0 in the Big Ten.Right off the bat, Kurtis Rourke will not play this week. We do expect him to return during regular season with a thumb injury. That's all I'll say about the injury.
Really was very impressed with his team last season, Arizona, where he turned that program around, the way they finished. I think they won their last eight games, maybe nine. Playing about as well as anybody in the country last season. They're a good football team. Got to have a great week.No, he's a veteran guy, married guy. He's older, smart. Got a great attitude about it.I thought he came in, did a nice job in the second half.
The offense I thought did a great job, red area, seven for seven touchdowns. We out-rushed them pretty significantly.On the importance of Tayven Jackson getting some game-time under his belt against Nebraska ...We always talk about the next man up. Everybody's here for a reason, right? In this sport, you're going to have injuries at every single position.
He's got excellent potential. He's gotten better. Now he's got an opportunity. He's got to take it and run with it.He's a really good quarterback coach. Has great relationships with those guys. Student of the game. Communicates really well. I just think we do a nice job developing quarterbacks. It's a group effort, team effort. Since Tino has been here, I think he's taken those guys to another level. This will be his fourth year with me, yeah.One, you're balanced. We throw RPOs, too. We're not running in stacked boxes. We throw the ball efficiently, too, so you can't load up against us. But we blocked them up front really well. Our backs made people miss. Downfield blocking was good.
