Indiana opted to start Grant Wilson over Josh Hoover at quarterback for Saturday's game against USC.

Coming into the matchup, coach Curt Cignetti didn't publicly reveal whether he would go with Wilson or Hoover, who has struggled since suffering an injury to his throwing arm in October.

Cignetti was asked about his quarterback pick pregame and responded, "Flip a coin," according to CBS.

Wilson, a seventh-year player, replaced Hoover in Indiana's last game, a victory against Minnesota on Oct. 31. He threw the decisive touchdown in overtime.

Indiana enters the game with an 8-1 record while USC comes into Saturday's meeting at 7-2.
