It will be wait and see once again for Indiana at quarterback this week. After carrying the questionable label last week and ultimately not playing against No. 6 Ohio State, redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix’s status is once again up in the air for Saturday’s game against UConn. IU head coach Tom Allen addressed the topic at his regular Monday media availability. “Yeah, I think probably to be fair I’ll probably know some more by even the end of today of kind of how that will look, Allen said.  ” There’s no question that I think it’s going to be…

“It starts up front and it ends up front.” That was Tom Allen’s assessment of Indiana’s struggles in the running game, but it could have just as well been his entire description of Ohio State’s 51-10 win over Indiana on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington. And it might be the story of the 2019 season if something doesn’t change. Whether you want to point to the Buckeyes 314 rushing yards or Indiana’s 42, both highlight the same glaring issue coming out of Saturday’s blowout in Bloomington. IU isn’t Big Ten ready in the trenches. “The bottom line is you have to…

That’s where in-state class of 2021 forward Trey Kaufman will be as he takes one of his five allotted junior year official visits at Indiana. Kaufman has been a known commodity on the recruiting trail for a while, but his rise has been significant during the spring and summer. Indiana was one of the first high major programs to offer Kaufman, and several have followed suit since.  With this weekend’s visit sandwiched in between official visits to Purdue and Louisville, Kaufman’s…

That’s especially true when it comes to one of their best players on defense, and a vocal leader out on the field. After spending last week in head coach Tom Allen’s doghouse, IU husky Marcelino Ball will return to the starting lineup to face No. 6 Ohio State. Buckeye head coach Ryan Day is fully aware of the Georgia native’s talent. “Their secondary is…
