We are just over three weeks away from the start of the 2019 Indiana football season. I spent the day in Bloomington on Wednesday to observe practice.  Here are some of the more significant things I picked up from the team’s fall camp just north of Memorial Stadium on the IU campus. Of course the question on everyone’s mind is the quarterback competition. Who stood out?  That is really tough to say. Mike Penix appears to have the best arm, but he took several sacks and you have to wonder where he’s at mentally with his recovery from knee surgery…

Indiana hired new offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer in January to replace the outgoing Mike DeBord. Deboer led the offense at spring practice and is installing his new system while a three-way quarterback competition unfolds. The former Fresno State offensive coordinator gave an update on Wednesday from fall camp in Bloomington. https://youtu.be/M4es77N5VnQ Video Credit – IU Athletics You can follow us on Twitter:  @daily_hoosier Find us on Facebook:  thedailyhoosier The Daily Hoosier –“Where Indiana fans assemble when they’re not at Assembly” Seven ways to support completely free IU coverage at no additional cost to you.

The quarterback competition dominates the headlines, but Indiana has four legitimate starters at running back in 2019. Stevie Scott is clear starter, but unlike the quarterbacks, all four should see plenty of snaps. Hear the latest on the group from assistant head coach and running back coach Mike Hart along with Stevie Scott, Cole Gest and Ronnie Walker, Jr. from fall camp on Wednesday. Note:  Sampson James was not made available after practice. https://youtu.be/3osdFZqbYTY https://youtu.be/bKPBStMXV68 https://youtu.be/npiAL2PvRLI https://youtu.be/x_Bb60DJAqw https://youtu.be/cg-hrdFOGr8 https://youtu.be/q6BoauGlr0s Video Credits – IU Athletics / Indiana Sports Beat You can follow us on Twitter:  @daily_hoosier Find…

Former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight almost beat Kirk Haston to Lobelville that spring day in 1999. When he arrived just a few minutes after Haston at his boyhood Tennessee home to mourn with him over the loss of his mother, Knight said something that proved to be prophetic. Acknowledging the difficulties that Haston was going through after learning that his mother was tragically killed in a tornado, Knight told his young player that he knew he was tough enough to get through it. “I know you have that kind of toughness in you because your mom had that kind…

Bloomington based guard Anthony Leal has quickly gone from two to one. After announcing a final two just a couple weeks ago, Leal is now reportedly ready to announce a decision on Friday. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard will announce a verbal commitment to either Indiana or Stanford. We believe that Tipton Edits was the first to report the news. https://twitter.com/TiptonEdits/status/1158738957263413248?s=20 Leal took an official visit to Stanford in March, and as a local he is of course a regular visitor to the IU campus. As a junior at Bloomington South, Leal averaged 19.9 points per game and led a talented…

Graham played for IU from 1989 to 1994 and appeared in 104 games.  He averaged 8.6 points per game while shooting 50.8% from the field overall and 48% from behind the three-point line. Indiana won Big Ten titles in 1991 and 1993. https://youtu.be/V3l2kF8eo4s There are multiple ways that you can listen to Indiana Sports Beat every day: TheDailyHoosier.com IndianaSportsBeat.com TheGruelingTruth.com Radio: WREF 97.7 ESPN iHeartRadio: (link: https://ihr.fm/2Dp9G3o) ihr.fm/2Dp9G3o Apple: (link: https://apple.co/2D7Wmzt) apple.co/2D7Wmzt Spotify: (link:…

Indiana University head football coach Tom Allen hasn’t hesitated to say that the defensive line is the biggest question mark on the 2019 IU football team.  While there are some familiar names, there are concerns when it comes to size and depth at the position. Former IU linebacker and current defensive line coach Mark Hagen took questions on Monday. As a player, Hagen led the team in tackles three-straight years from 1989-91, and he was the team’s Balfour Award recipient in 1991 for bringing distinction and honor to the university. He is tied for fifth in Hoosiers history with 336…
