IU cornerback Tiawan Mullen made history on Wednesday. The Indiana sophomore became the first cornerback ever for IU to earn first-team All-America honors, it was announced by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). Mullen is just the second cornerback (Tim Wilbur, 1980 second-teamer) in school history to achieve All-America status and is the first Hoosier since offensive lineman Dan Feeney (2016) to collect first-team recognition. Senior wide receiver Ty Fryfogle and junior linebacker Micah McFadden received third-team All-America laurels from the Associated Press earlier this week, giving IU three All-Americans for the first time since 2007 (wide receiver James…
Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle met with the media on Wednesday to discuss the preparations for the Outback Bowl. Tuttle will be making his second career start when he takes the field on Saturday. He talked about the benefits of having a game under his belt. “That Wisconsin game helped me improve so much and I gained so much confidence,” Tuttle said. “It is not about this being my first start or getting my feet wet, it is just about playing football now. It is about improving from that game and prepping for Ole Miss. We just get to go play…
It only took nearly ten months — but Indiana vs. Penn State is finally here. Many of the faces, and in Penn State’s case, the coach changed from what was supposed to be a second round Big Ten Tournament game in March. Nothing has been the same since the day that game was canceled, and a nearly empty Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall will serve as a reminder that we have a long way back to normal. Speaking of normal — Indiana has pulled out hard fought wins over Penn State in Bloomington with a high degree of regularity. They’ll need…
Micah McFadden was the lowest ranked recruit in Indiana’s 2018 class. As a class of 2017 recruit, Ty Fryfogle had just two power five options, one as a legacy. Two recruits that almost nobody wanted or expected much from. And today they are Indiana’s first All-Americans since 2016. That is something that not even McFadden or Fryfogle saw as a likely outcome of this bizarre 2020 college football season. “I am not going to lie and say that I expected this, that this was one of my biggest goals, or that I really saw it happening this season,” McFadden said. …

Through nine games, Indiana has had a player reach double figures in points 25 times. Only four of those efforts have come from senior guard Al Durham and his former fellow starter in the backcourt, junior Rob Phinisee. All the college basketball clichés — getting old and staying old, having a veteran backcourt — pointed to a promising season for Indiana as the Hoosiers appeared primed to put a veteran group around Trayce Jackson-Davis. Now just two games into the Big Ten season, one of the veteran guards has lost his shooting stroke, and the other, his spot in the…
