‘This is why’: Aiden Fisher’s leadership powers Indiana’s historic victory at Oregon

The only blank spaces? 2024 and 2025 — an abnormality for most programs, but the norm under head coach Curt Cignetti.

Cignetti doesn’t name official captains. Instead, the same four players walk out for the coin toss each week. Among them, senior linebacker Aiden Fisher always stands closest to the head official. On the road, he makes the call.

On Saturday, he chose heads — and got it right. Indiana started its biggest game of the year with a small win, led by its loudest voice.

A 2024 first-team All-American, Fisher stuffed the stat sheet on Saturday afternoon.
