Countdown to Kickoff: 38 Days (Damon Graham)

Written By: Nick Holmes (@HoosierHolmes)

Good morning Hoosier Nation and welcome back to our Countdown to Kickoff. Only 38 more days until the Cream and Crimson take the field for their first contest of what looks to be a potential breakthrough season for the program. A lot is riding on this year, so the Hoosiers are eager to get things underway and prove naysayers wrong. To do so, the team will need to revive a passing offense that took some steps back in 2014. Now with the return of a healthy Nate Sudfeld at quarterback, the Hoosiers will be looking for some playmakers at wide receiver. Indiana saw the graduation of three experienced pass catchers this past fall, including Shane Wynn, so offensive coordinator Kevin Johns will be looking for some of his talented athletes to emerge from the pack and take a strangle hold on the playing time that is up for grabs. Today we are taking a look at Damon Graham, a player who certainly appears to be in the mix at slot this fall.

Spring Position Battles: Kickoff Return

Welcome to the final installment of Spring Position Battles, we are looking at the often over looked battle at the kick and punt return positions. Middle of the pack teams like the Indiana Hoosiers need every advantage they can get and a lot of the time that comes via very good special teams. Some of IU’s most memorable wins have come because of a kickoff return for a score. Lance Bennett sparked the Hoosiers’ upset of Oregon on the road in 2004 with a long kickoff return touchdown and Marcus Thigpen initiated come backs in 2006 against Illinois and Ball State with big plays on special teams. Under head coach Kevin Wilson the Hoosiers have had their share of explosive special teamers with Shane Wynn and Tevin Coleman, but in 2014 it was an area that was lacking.
