Spring Position Battles: Kickoff Return

Welcome to the final installment of Spring Position Battles, we are looking at the often over looked battle at the kick and punt return positions. Middle of the pack teams like the Indiana Hoosiers need every advantage they can get and a lot of the time that comes via very good special teams. Some of IU’s most memorable wins have come because of a kickoff return for a score. Lance Bennett sparked the Hoosiers’ upset of Oregon on the road in 2004 with a long kickoff return touchdown and Marcus Thigpen initiated come backs in 2006 against Illinois and Ball State with big plays on special teams. Under head coach Kevin Wilson the Hoosiers have had their share of explosive special teamers with Shane Wynn and Tevin Coleman, but in 2014 it was an area that was lacking.

Spring Practice Position Battle: Wide Receivers

Written By: Nick Holmes (@HoosierHolmes)

If there's one thing for certain going into next season, it's that the Hoosiers' aerial attack will have to be vastly improved for the team to have a legitimate shot at the postseason in 2015. After compiling 3,680 yards through the air in 2013, the team saw their production plummet to just 1,697 passing yards after a season-ending injury to quarterback Nate Sudfeld this past season.

Spring Practice Position Battle: Back-up Quarterback

Welcome to part four of Hoosier Huddle’s coverage of spring football practice! As we enter the last weekend in February and head into what is hopefully a warmer March, we are going to look at the battle to backup starting quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Sudfeld was lost for the season after taking a hit late in the first half of the Hoosiers’ sixth game at Iowa. The injury was the last thing that IU needed to endure, as they did not have a proven commodity in the backup role. So while it is just the backup quarterback battle it can play a huge part in the success that the Hoosiers will have on the field in 2015 as we saw when head coach Kevin Wilson was forced to play true freshman Zander Diamont.
