Indiana’s quarterback competition is over. Coach Tom Allen announced Monday that Tayven Jackson has won the starting job heading into Saturday’s game against undefeated Louisville. Jackson beat Indiana State 41-7 in his first career start last weekend. Brendan Sorsby started Indiana’s opener, a 23-3 loss to then No. 3 Ohio State. Jackson appeared to energize an offense that was largely stagnant. He still has not thrown a touchdown pass but was more proficient last weekend going 18 of 21 with 236 yards and ran for a touchdown. Sosby was 9 of 16 with 108 yards.
