Indiana football: How good was Tayven Jackson against Indiana State?

If you took a look at Twitter or asked any Indiana fan who happened to be watching the Hoosiers’ football game against Indiana State, the starting quarterback question was solved on Friday night.

The Answer: Tayven Jackson.

Jackson completed 18 of his 21 passing attempts against the Sycamores for 236 yards and may have had a passing touchdown on a beautiful deep ball had it not been called back by an offensive penalty.

That’s a completion percentage of .857, good for third best all-time in program history, per Indiana Athletics. He’s only the second Indiana quarterback all-time with a completion percentage over .
