As we march through the summer and into fall camp, Hoosier Huddle will look at the top five opposing players or position groups they will face in 2017. Only players and position groups from teams on the 2017 IU Football schedule are considered.
The Hoosiers face several tough running games in 2017 so this was not an easy list to compile. Talented players like Purdue’s Markell Jones and Rutgers’ Robert Martin were left off. Wisconsin definitely has one of the five best running games IU will face thanks to their beastly offensive line and the depth they’ll bring to the party but it’s impossible to pick out one, or even two, backs the Badgers will lean on (for the record, I like Wisconsin to walk away with the West and their running game is part of the reason why…them not being present here is not a “diss” to their rushing attack). Without further ado, enjoy the rankings and feel free to agree or dispute in our comments section!

We have sped through September, and all the way to the second Saturday in October. The Hoosiers’ open week in October 7th, after a clash with Penn State and prior to hosting Michigan and it comes almost right smack in the middle of the season. Coming off of an open date isn’t necessarily a great thing. Yes, it let’s players get healthy and back in the lineup (hopefully that won’t be too necessary for IU), however teams usually come out a little bit rusty, especially on offense. IU hasn’t won a game coming off an open week since 2013 when they knocked off Penn State 44-24. They lost to Wake Forest in 2016, Iowa in 2015, and in an odd double open week season in 2014 IU dropped games to Bowling Green and Michigan.

We are just a few days away from finding out where the Hoosiers single-season rushing record holder Tevin Coleman will continue his football career. His outstanding performance in 2014 served not only to raise his draft stock, but has been a great selling-point to running back prospects across the country for the Hoosiers coaching staff. So which 2016 running back(s) could pick Indiana as their future college destination?
Read MoreEven though National Signing Day is just around the corner, do not expect things to slow down for college football coaching staffs as they shift more of their resources and attention to the talented prospects of the 2016 class. One high school junior that has caught the eye of many college coaches, including Indiana Hoosiers’ head coach Kevin Wilson, is versatile Ben Davis (Indianapolis) running back Chris Evans.
