2021 Recruiting Class Stays Together in Difficult Circumstances

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted every facet of American life in one form or another. While college football recruiting has nowhere near the importance of other areas of daily life, student-athletes cannot visit the schools that are recruiting them, coaches cannot meet with potential recruits face-to-face and the recruits cannot have the same experience they would have envisioned as they became targets for high-major football programs. Those hurdles did not stop IU’s 2021 recruiting class from finding ways to connect and bond as a group before arriving in Bloomington to begin their collegiate careers.

That ended in 2013 when the Hoosiers beat the scandal-weakened Nittany Lions in Bloomington 44-24. Since then, PSU has won the past five to bring the total to 21-1 in favor of the Nittany Lions.

Spring Preview- Is This the Year Indiana Takes Advantage of Talent at Tight End?

Spring Preview- Is This the Year Indiana Takes Advantage of Talent at Tight End?

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The tight end position has been talked about a lot over the past few seasons with the Hoosiers. Kevin Wilson’s offense under-utilized the position to the point of non-existence on the stat sheet and Mike DeBord’s offense used the position more, but still left a lot to be desired. So can the new offensive coordinator figure out how to utilize a position that the Hoosiers have both depth and talent? We’ll see soon enough. The Hoosiers do lose Ryan Watercutter to graduation as well as Austin Dorris who transferred to Bowling Green. The Hoosiers do have two young tight ends who project to be very good in TJ Ivy and Matt Bjorson, then Gary Cooper will join the team over the summer as a true freshman.

Hoosiers Hammer Cardinals to Sweep Non-Conference Slate

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

Games against underdog in-state opponents don’t always go as planned. The Ball State Cardinals entered today’s matchup winners of three of the last four meetings against Indiana and coming off an impressive close loss at Notre Dame. The makings were in place for another Ball State victory over the Hoosiers. However, Tom Allen stressed the importance of paying attention to history and IU’s players made sure that the past would not be repeated. After a Ball State field goal on the first drive of the game, Indiana rattled off 31 unanswered points and routed the Cardinals 38-10. The victory improves the Hoosiers to 3-0 and gets them halfway to bowl eligibility as they enter Big Ten play.
