Indiana University’s head football coach says it’s a “next man up mentality” as they deal with the loss of a top player on the offensive live.

Nick Kidwell went down last week with a season-ending knee injury, which head coach Curt Cignetti says has been personally tough to deal with given his long history with Kidwell coming over from James Madison.

Nevertheless, Cignetti says he likes how the team has been preparing for the upcoming season as a whole. They will face Florida International to begin the season on August 31st.
