On the eve of Indiana’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1968, Rhett Lewis delivers his final, big-picture keys for the Hoosiers’ matchup with Alabama — focusing on mindset, defensive pressure, offensive adaptability, and why Indiana’s physical identity still gives them an edge on college football’s biggest stage.Rhett explains how Curt Cignetti’s messaging keeps complacency out of the building, why stopping the run remains the non-negotiable priority, and how Bryant Haines’ pressure packages must evolve without Stephen Daley in the lineup. He also breaks down the chess match between Indiana’s offense and Alabama’s late-game man-coverage tendencies — and what that means for Fernando Mendoza, Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper, and Charlie Becker.Then, Rhett is joined by Indiana football legend Micah McFadden, former Hoosier linebacker and current New York Giant. McFadden shares what has impressed him most about Indiana’s defense, how the linebacker group carries the identity of the unit, and why this team reminds him of the best IU defenses he’s been part of. He also reflects on watching Indiana’s run through the Big Ten — and enjoying plenty of locker-room trash talk along the way.This is a moment worth savoring — and a standard that’s here to stay.Roll out the Big Red Carpet.
