2014 Spring Preview: Three Questions on Defense
/
The Indiana Hoosiers had one of the worst defenses in the history of the Big Ten last season. The Hoosiers fired coordinator Doug Mallory and hired Brian Knorr who was successful at Wake Forest the last few years. The Hoosiers will have a new look, as Knorr will bring the 3-4 defense to Bloomington. Let’s delve a little deeper into three questions facing this defense as spring practice draws closer.

With the bowl season just a few days away, and while the Hoosiers will not be bowling there are still plenty of very solid games to watch, now is a perfect time to look back at the 2013 regular season for the Hoosiers.
The Good-
1. The Offense- While inconsistent at times the 2013 Hoosiers offense was a record setter. Indiana averaged 38.4 points and 508.5 yards per game. Sophomore Tevin Coleman finished just 42 yards short of becoming the first Hoosier back to crack the 1,000-yard mark since 2001. He definitely would have if not for the ankle injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of the Illinois game. Junior Cody Latimer became the first IU receiver to break the 1,000-yard receiving milestone since James Hardy in 2007. The outlook for 2014 is good despite the Hoosiers losing running back Stephen Houston (790 rush yards), Kofi Hughes (739 receiving yards), and Ted Bolser (six touchdowns), also the Hoosiers have not figured out their quarterback situation.
