Indiana’s secondary was supposed to be a strength. The Hoosiers had veterans with a lot of playing experience returning and there was a hope that 2021 was just a fluke. The unit with Tiawan Mullen and Monster Matthews and Jaylin Williams would rebound and play more like the group that showed so much promise in 2020. Instead, the bottom fell out and IU’s pass defense was largely abysmal. The Hoosiers gave up a passer rating of 152.42 and opponents threw 30 touchdowns to just seven interceptions against Indiana. For reference, IU’s passer rating was 104.97 with 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions on the season. IU’s coaching staff knew changes had to be made this position group is unrecognizable from last season.

2023 Position Preview: This Could be Indiana's Deepest Defensive Line in Years

Written by: Ethan Roberts (@usaEthanRoberts)

The defensive line is responsible for rushing the passer to prevent explosive plays through the air as well as stopping the run on short-yardage situations. The trenches are an important factor in big third down play that can be the difference between allowing points and getting your quarterback back onto the field. The Hoosiers had a lackluster pass rush in the 2022 campaign. Sack leaders Dasan McCullough and Alfred Bryant both tallied 4 sacks. Bryant has utilized his eligibility and is no longer with the team and McCullough transferred to Oklahoma following the end of the 2022 season. New transfer EDGE Andre Carter (Western Michigan) dominated the MAC with double digits tackles for losses and seven sacks. Defensive coordinator Matt Guerrieri will have a handful this season after losing star pass rusher McCullough but obtaining good depth pieces from the portal.
