Match-up to Watch: Indiana's Offensive Line will be Tested Against the FIU Front

Match-up to Watch: Indiana's Offensive Line will be Tested Against the FIU Front

Written by Rylie Kyhn

Last year, Miami was hit by Hurricane Irma right as the Florida International Golden Panthers planned to head to Indiana for a matchup against the Hoosiers. The Hurricane caused plans to halt and all travel was cancelled which meant FIU no longer got to play their road game in Indiana. This year, the Hoosiers travel to Florida and they will take on the Golden Panthers in the Miami heat for the season opener, the same place they began their season two years ago. They have been preparing for this game all summer with scheduled afternoon run sessions in order to prepare their bodies for the heat and humidity they will face this Saturday. They have transformed themselves completely over the last few months and open their season faster, more conditioned, and stronger than ever.

Hoosier Walk-on Defensive Lineman Gavin Everett Surprised with a Scholarship by Tom Allen During Tackling Drill

Hoosier Walk-on Defensive Lineman Gavin Everett Surprised with a Scholarship by Tom Allen During Tackling Drill

Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

As the Hoosiers entered the dog days of fall camp the sun beat down on the field as Tom Allen rallied the team around him in a circle with his bull horn. It looked as if the Hoosiers were getting ready for the 'Bull in the Ring' drill, a drill where the team circles up and two players try to shed the block or defend the attack of the other, a tough man's drill that already had the players take it up a notch.
