BLOOMINGTON — The Indiana football team had an unofficial media day to preview the College Football Playoff on Tuesday night.
The Hoosiers (11-1) had eight players (four from the offense and four from the defense) speak to reporters about their first-round matchup against Notre Dame on Friday night.
Here’s one moment that stood out from every player that stepped up to the podium on Tuesday night:

Indiana linebacker Aiden Fisher: “Not a feeling that we want to repeat”
Fisher sounded a lot like his coach on Tuesday night when he revisited the team’s loss to Ohio State.
“I know a lot of the guys here, the JMU guys, I think we lost three times in the last two years,” Fisher said. “It’s not a feeling that we like and not a feeling that we want to repeat.”
That’s a similar message to the one Cignetti had for IU fans at his introductory press conference. He’s now gone 14 seasons and counting as a head coach without a losing season and the singular focus he brings to the sidelines has rubbed off on his players.
Those JMU transfers like Fisher helped build the winning culture that’s taken hold in Bloomington, and it was their long track record of success that helped their words carry weight in the locker room.
The longest tenured JMU transfers on the team (James Carpenter, Solomon Vanhorse and Nick Kidwell) have career records of 52-9.
