Sampson James was a four-star prospect in Avon High School and used to dominating on the football field. He flipped from Ohio State to Indiana and was the highest-ranked recruit in the 2019 class for the Hoosiers and expectations were sky-high for the running back from the Hoosier state. However, things don’t always go as planned right away. Stevie Scott dominated the carries out of the Indiana backfield during the 2019 season and James struggled to make his way onto the field. When Stevie Scott was injured prior to the regular-season finale against Purdue, James took advantage of his opportunity. He rushed for 118 yards on 22 carries and helped the Hoosiers seize the Old Oaken Bucket.

After their lone defeat of the 2020 season, the Indiana Hoosiers bounced back with a comfortable 27-11 victory over the Maryland Terrapins on a sunny afternoon in Bloomington. The offense struggled to find any kind of rhythm in the first half but a strong running game and a strangling defense that forced three more turnovers ultimately built a lead the Hoosiers coasted home with. The major negative of the day came in the third quarter as Michael Penix was injured on a run. His status is unknown but Jack Tuttle finished the game at quarterback for the Hoosiers.

Nick Saban calls it ‘Rat Poison’. Others call is a trap game. Indiana travels to New Jersey on Saturday to face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the Hoosiers need to leave the accolades they received last week at the gate.
