Daily College Football Links (December 18, 2020)

Happy Friday, No. 7 Hoosiers fans! Yesterday was a huge day in history for Indiana as Tom Allen became the second IU football coach ever to be named Big Ten Coach of the Year. The Hoosiers have also set a program record with 16 All-Big Ten honors that have been earned this week.

We won’t have an Old Oaken Bucket game rematch, but IU gained new players Wednesday for early signing day. We have gotten to know these players and have watched them closely this year and have made profiles on each of the 14 guys who made their commitment official yesterday. Get to know them here.

Follow us on Facebook and Twitter @HoosierHuddle and Instagram @Hoosier_Huddle for updates as we await news on a bowl game.
