Top Five: Opponent Wide Receivers

Top Five: Opponent Wide Receivers

Our “Top 5” series continues! Today, we take a look at a position in which elite players have consistently terrorized the Indiana Hoosiers secondary: wide receivers. New defensive coordinator Tom Allen brings a 4-2-5 alignment that will attempt to cut down on some of the big pass plays that victimized the Hoosiers last season. In total, IU surrendered 100 yards or more to nine different pass catchers. The five guys on this list are our pick for the toughest wide receivers IU’s secondary will face and they’ll need to improve their ability to limit these top targets if the Hoosiers are to find more success on defense in 2016.

Throwback Thursday: Michigan State 52 Indiana 26

This week’s Throwback Thursday chronicles IU’s “closer than the score looks” loss to the Michigan State Spartans. This was the final game before IU headed into their much-needed open week. The Hoosiers just seemed to run out of gas in the fourth quarter after a grueling opening to the Big Ten slate facing Ohio State and Penn State before taking on Michigan State. Staying true to the theme of 2015, IU was close to knocking off a top-10 team, but just couldn’t get over that last ridge. 

Opponent: Michigan State Spartans

Location: Saturday November 7th /3:37pm/ Memorial Stadium/ (Bloomington, IN) 

Why They Played:  The Hoosiers and Spartans meet annually now for the Old Brass Spittoon as part of the Big Ten East.
