It may be hard to believe, but this 2018 Indiana football season is already half over. While the 4-2 record was predictable, the rest of the season is anything but that. Let’s take a look at what’s working and what isn’t as the Hoosiers get set to embark on what should be a very challenging and entertaining second half of the schedule. STEADY QUARTERBACK PLAY Yes there are some lingering critics, but what team wouldn’t be thrilled with this quarterback stat line after six games: 141 for 211 passing (67%), 1,361 yards, 11 touchdowns, 5 interceptions 61 carries, 244 yards,…

You could hardly blame Nick Westbrook if he came back a little tentative. Coming off his own ACL tear that wiped out his entire 2017 season (save for one play), the redshirt junior has watched teammate and fellow wide receiver J-Shun Harris suffer through three such injuries. Fortunately for Westbrook, Harris has also written the book on how to return. With Harris emerging recently with 21 catches and more than 200-plus yards over the last three games, Westbrook didn’t have to look far for inspiration. Whether it was watching Harris, just part of the process of working his way back,…

Make that Ohio State 1, Indiana 1. Okay, maybe not, but this is big news — and IU running back coach Mike Hart continues to pull in big talent for the Hoosier football program. Earlier in the day on Sunday rumors were circulating that Avon, Indiana native Sampson James had decommitted from Ohio State. It didn’t take long for him to clarify where he was heading. Apparently the former Buckeye commit liked what he saw from the Hoosiers yesterday in Columbus. https://twitter.com/Sjames_2/status/1049061339384225792 The 6-foot-1, 211-pound James is ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation’s No. 8 running back.
