It took a while for Indiana football to get going in its season opener, but that's not new under Curt Cignetti and the result was the same as last year: a win.

Aside from two plays defensively and several offensive miscues, though, the Hoosiers were dominant in a 27-14 victory over Old Dominion on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

IU also unveiled its new mascot , Hoosier the Bison, in dramatic fashion pregame. Hoosier had plenty to cheer about.

Here are the stats from today's game.
