Hoosier Roundtable Podcast: Indiana vs Indiana State Recap, Should Tayven Jackson Start Full-Time?

Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson's performance was the story of Friday night's game against Indiana State, so naturally, his potential status as the full-time starting quarterback was the topic of discussion on today's Hoosier Roundtable Podcast.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Coach Tom Allen and the Indiana Hoosiers defeated Indiana State 41-7 on Friday night inside Memorial Stadium, largely thanks to the efforts of one Tayven Jackson.

The redshirt freshman quarterback completed 18-of-21 passes for 236 yards, and ran in a 10-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. 

On today's episode of the Hoosier Roundtable Podcast, we recapped Indiana's dominant win over the FCS opponent, and discussed whether Jackson has done enough to fully separate himself from Brendan Sorsby and secure the starting quarterback job moving forward.
