Stay true to team values and expectations.
Charlotte has an identity built on an aggressive defense and offense that utilizes quarterbacks to facilitate to playmakers. It also expects to win every game, and if it can't, to improve every game, especially in the last non-conference chance.
Indiana has an identity brought from a coach who was elsewhere last year. Curt Cignetti took James Madison to the FBS level and did so with a 19-4 record over the Dukes' first two years at a new height.
Offense is how the Dukes did it, and it's been how the Hoosiers have too — 50 points per game in a 3-0 start that included a 77-3 win over Western Illinois thanks to 701 yards.
