Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)
The Hoosiers face an extremely tall task on Saturday night as they head to the Big House to face the number seven Michigan Wolverines. Saturday’s matchup to watch will be Indiana linebackers Cam Jones and Micah McFadden against Michigan’s running attack led by Blake Corum and Hasaan Haskins who have combined for 1,435 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. It is a true strength against strength.

Indiana Head Coach Tom Allen and his Hoosiers closed out their fifteenth and final spring practice this past Saturday. Unfortunately, they were unable to put a bow on this portion of the offseason with a spring game we are accustomed to seeing, but the coaching staff was still able to hand out spring practice player awards.

2020 Linebacker Position Preview
Written by: Nate Comp (@NathanComp1)
There’s been some turnover and inconsistency from the linebacker position for Indiana the past couple years. Players like Cam Jones, James Miller, and Aaron Casey were new to full-time linebacking responsibilities in 2019 after serving in mostly backup roles prior, and at times it showed.

This year, they feel they have a group full of impact players.
