Spring Preview - Quarterbacks - A New Era Begins

The Nate Sudfeld Era is over. One of the best quarterbacks to ever sling the ball around at Memorial Stadium has graduated and the Hoosiers must find a quarterback capable of leading their offense in the season to come. There are viable candidates with varying levels of experience but quarterback play will be a central question surrounding this program heading into a season with a lot of potential. Does IU have a signal-caller capable of guiding their offense back to the top of the B1G’s offensive rankings?

Spring Preview: Quarterbacks

Spring practice is just a mere five days away and the biggest question that should be on the minds of Hoosier fans is, how is quarterback Nate Sudfeld going to look coming off of season-ending shoulder surgery in 2014. The 2015 season, and possibly Kevin Wilson’s job, hinges on whether or not Sudfeld can return to form and get IU to their first bowl game since 2007. Whenever a player is coming back from injury it is difficult, almost impossible, to predict what he is going to look like before actually seeing them practice, especially if they will be limited in contact like Sudfeld. However, this is not solely a Nate Sudfeld piece, the Hoosiers have other quarterbacks that need to show improvement in order for this team to reach its goals. IU also returns Chris Covington from injury and Zander Diamont, who started the final six games for the Hoosiers in 2014.

Spring Practice Position Battle: Back-up Quarterback

Welcome to part four of Hoosier Huddle’s coverage of spring football practice! As we enter the last weekend in February and head into what is hopefully a warmer March, we are going to look at the battle to backup starting quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Sudfeld was lost for the season after taking a hit late in the first half of the Hoosiers’ sixth game at Iowa. The injury was the last thing that IU needed to endure, as they did not have a proven commodity in the backup role. So while it is just the backup quarterback battle it can play a huge part in the success that the Hoosiers will have on the field in 2015 as we saw when head coach Kevin Wilson was forced to play true freshman Zander Diamont.
