From JUCO to Big Ten, Richard Lagow and Ian Thomas Play With an Inherent Chip on Their Shoulder

From JUCO to Big Ten, Richard Lagow and Ian Thomas Play With an Inherent Chip on Their Shoulder

No one likes to be told they aren’t good enough. It’s a hard pill to swallow. This can be the reality some high school football players face when they turn to junior college. There is no uniform path to make it to the Big Ten – Ian Thomas and Richard Lagow are prime examples. The quarterback and tight end share a special bond having risen the ranks via junior college football, also known as JUCO. Lagow explains, “The JUCO experience is very unique and not a lot of guys can understand it when you talk about it; just kind of the struggles that you go through at junior college and how much we appreciate every single thing about being at a place like Indiana University because we didn't have any of this at JUCO.”

Week Two Match-Up to Watch: Jonathan Crawford & Tony Fields vs. Virginia's Wide Receivers

Week Two Match-Up to Watch: Jonathan Crawford & Tony Fields vs. Virginia's Wide Receivers

Week one came and went, and just like that, IU is back on the road in a nearly must-win situation. They played decently against Ohio State on Thursday, but the big plays and inability to run the ball effectively ultimately doomed the Hoosiers in their quest for one of the biggest wins in school history. IU has now completely shifted their focus to the Virginia Cavaliers, who are fresh off a 2-10 season and a 28-10 win over FCS William & Mary. The big plays I just talked about killed Indiana on Thursday, and that is my matchup to watch for this week.

Hoosiers Head to Charlottesville for Pivotal Challenge Against Virginia

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

After so much build-up and anticipation being placed upon IU’s primetime opener last Thursday night against the Buckeyes, the Hoosiers now face the scary proposition of a near must-win road game being contested in ACC country. The 0-1 Hoosiers travel to Charlottesville, Virginia to take on the 1-0 Virginia Cavaliers, knowing that starting the season 0-2 would present them with a very steep climb to reach bowl eligibility.
