In a summer full of recognition, two IU defenders earned one of college football’s more prestigious preseason honors. Indiana linebacker Micah McFadden and cornerback Tiawan Mullen were both named second team preseason All-Americans by the Associated Press on Monday. Mullen became the first cornerback in program history to earn first-team All-America honors (FWAA, Phil Steele) one year ago. He was just the second cornerback (Tim Wilbur, 1980 second-teamer) in school history to achieve All-America status and was the first Hoosier since offensive lineman Dan Feeney (2015, 2016) to claim first-team recognition. Upon the conclusion of the regular season, Mullen became…
The Daily Hoosier spent the week down in The Bahamas in connection with IU basketball’s foreign tour and had several opportunities to see the team in action.

Jordan Geronimo told me it was coming the day before the first game in The Bahamas. “I’m going to be a hustle player,” he said. A lot of guys say that, but Geronimo backed it up. Convincingly. No…
With several sports about to commence, the Big Ten has finally announced its policy for teams that cannot play a game due to COVID-19. The league announced on Monday morning teams that cannot play a game due to COVID-19 must forfeit the contest and such games will not be rescheduled. The rule applies to all sports for the 2021-22 athletic year and is similar to the approach being used by other major conferences. “The conference has determined that if one of its member institutions is unable to play a conference contest due to COVID-19, that contest shall be declared a…
The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2021 Indiana football season on Sept. 4 against Iowa. Today we take a look at the defensive line. While the back seven generated all of the headlines in 2020, Indiana’s defensive line was much improved. And while unheralded, the interior group was a strength of the team. Still, head coach Tom Allen wants more splash plays from his front four, and he will have plenty of new experienced faces to look to as the unit tries to keep the positive…

Since nothing was televised and not everything was public, we are going to go player-by-player in jersey number order to share our thoughts on what we saw and what to expect from Indiana’s 2021-22 roster.

We like ESPN staff writer Bill Connelly’s SP+ model because it is a data driven system using logical inputs — and thus unbiased. But biased Indiana fans likely won’t like what is says for the 2021 season. Connelly released his SP+ ratings recently for the coming season and Indiana comes in at No. 28 in the predictive analytical system. Connelly bases his preseason projection on three factors: 1. Returning Production. This is the measure of how much of a team’s roster is returning, weighted to account for the positions that typically make a more meaningful impact. Indiana is the No.…
