College Football Links (April 9, 2021)
Happy Friday, Hoosier fans! Spring football ends today and will go on with a scrimmage instead of an official Spring game. With Spring practice coming to an end, this past week has been a big one for updates and interviews with coaches and players, so make sure check out this week’s stories for the highlights.
There are 148 days remaining until the 2021 season kicks off at Iowa. Hoosier Huddle has new football content every day until then, so check back for the latest on the IU football squad. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter @HoosierHuddle and Instagram @Hoosier_Huddle
