Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: Six Days (Zeke Walker)

Written by: TJ Inman (@TJHoosierHuddle)

#6

There is less than one week between now and the season-opening contest between Indiana and Ohio State! Yes, a mere six days from today, the Hoosiers will take the field against the #2 Buckeyes and help get the 2017 college football season underway in front of a national television audience. The Hoosiers secondary will have its hands full, taking on JT Barrett and new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, and one of the players tasked with slowing down the Buckeyes is back-up Husky Zeke Walker.

If you have been following our site throughout the offseason, you’ll know we have made no attempt to hide how good we think IU’s secondary has a chance to be in 2017. The Hoosiers return every contributor from last year and add a few potentially impactful newcomers to form a group that could be the best we’ve seen in Bloomington for my lifetime (for your reference, I turn 30 in September). Today’s position preview focuses on a part of that secondary: the safeties.

Countdown to Kickoff: 6 Days (Camion Patrick and Zeke Walker)

We are now under a week away from the college football season “truly” getting underway. Tonight’s matchup between Hawaii and California serves as an appetizer, but this will be the last weekend you will be without college football until mid-January.

However, back to the task at hand, continuing our Countdown to Kickoff, now just six days away from Indiana taking on the Panthers of Florida International. Today we take a look at two Hoosiers who are coming off of injuries but are certainly going to be in the mix for playing time, one much sooner than the other.

Keep Your Eyes On These Hoosiers At Sunday's Open Practice

It does not seem like that long ago, just 60 days in fact, since the Hoosiers were in action on the gridiron. Well you have successfully navigated another January and February without Indiana Football, but the wait is coming to an end. Spring practice opened today for the Hoosiers, but your first chance to see the team will be at 1:30pm tomorrow afternoon inside Memorial Stadium, prior to the hoops matchup between Indiana and Maryland. This is a golden opportunity to see many of the newcomers who look to make an impact this coming fall.

Six Under-the-Radar Hoosiers to Keep an Eye this Saturday

We are only a couple of days away from the Cream and Crimson game, an opportunity for fans to get their first glimpse of the 2015 Indiana Hoosiers. Those in attendance will be looking to see how Nate Sudfeld has recovered since his injury, how the receiving corps has developed, how sophomore running back Devine Redding looks with increased carries, and how senior Nick Mangieri has adjusted to being back at defensive end.

But beyond the obvious, here’s the names of some of the under-the-radar players you should keep an eye on this Saturday.

Sudfeld, Hoosiers Excited to Be Back on the Field For Spring Practice

A new season is here, enough of the talk about who might do what, it is time to put on the pads and buckle up the chinstrap. The Indiana Hoosiers finally hit the field again in Mellencamp Pavilion as they partook in their first of 15 practices this spring. The hope and optimism was palpable as the Hoosiers got back a healthy Nate Sudfeld, which has been the big question looming over IU since October. On Thursday, Sudfeld did not don the yellow non-contact jersey and was a full go in team drills and looked sharp in a practiced that head coach Kevin Wilson called “pretty good”.
