While it is possible the outcomes of these battles won’t be determined until the fall, spring practice should give the coaches an idea of who can step up and fill the holes left by some important departing players.

Hoosier Huddle is breaking down each position group prior spring ball and today, we look at a deep position group with a star in the making leading the way: defensive back.
“Defensive back” is a catch-all term that applies to multiple positions on the field: cornerback, safety and in IU’s case, Husky. As a result, going into detail on every player would be information overload. We’ll go position by position and dive into detailed descriptions on where things stand heading into spring.

Opponent: Maryland Terrapins
Location: Saturday October 19th, 2019 College Park, Maryland
Why They Played: The Hoosiers and Terrapins play annually in the Big Ten’s East division.
What The Game Meant: We had labeled this game as a potential swing-game for the Hoosiers way back in the spring. It turned out to be just that. Indiana and Maryland are forming a solid rivalry on the gridiron playing fourth-straight one score games.

While the efficiency numbers were not great, the Indiana defense boasted a respectable secondary in 2019. The Hoosiers thrived off of creating turnovers. Indiana tied for 33rd in the country with 13 team interceptions and they tied for fifth in the country in fumble recoveries with 13. With the departure of Hoosier safety Jonathan Crawford, Indiana has big shoes to fill. Luckily, there are a number of players capable of stepping up to the plate. IU's secondary will still be young next fall, but they will have the luxury of depth. Heading into spring, the IU defensive backs appears to be one of the most talented position groups on the roster. Indiana will return several starters from last year, and Tom Allen and his staff have recruited cornerbacks and safeties very well the past few years. While it is yet to be seen which individuals will produce most, the secondary will be among Indiana's strongest units in 2019.
