The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2019 Indiana University football season on August 31 against Ball State in Indianapolis.

The Hoosiers had big shoes to fill, and like much of defense last year, the linebacker group wasn’t as effective as they had been in recent campaigns. IU will continue…

Terry Hoeppner was named IU’s 26th head football coach on December 17, 2004. His infectious energy soon took hold, and after a 4-1 start to the 2005 season, it appeared that the program might be on…
