Indiana opened the 2020 season with its first win over a top 10 team in 33 years. In a fourth quarter and overtime that had enough drama for an entire season, IU stunned No. 8 Penn State 36-35. Trailing 35-28 after Penn State scored first in the overtime period, IU responded with a touchdown and decided to go for two and the win. Quarterback Michael Penix escaped the pocket and stretched out for the pylon. The ruling on the field was a successful conversion, and after a lengthy review, a tantalizingly close call was upheld. https://twitter.com/BigTenNetwork/status/1320150103894618112?s=20 That the game ever…
Each and every year when Indiana and Michigan meet, we are repeatedly reminded of the infamous Hoosier losing streak to the Wolverines. You will surely hear about it in a couple weeks when IU hosts the Wolverines. The streak now stands at 33 years, dating back to 1987. The players on the current IU team weren’t born yet. Not even close. The player’s parents might not have started high school yet. It has been a while. But it all came together on one magical fall day in Bloomington. Let’s take a quick look back at October 24, 1987, at Memorial…
The wait is finally over. The 2020 Big Ten football season is here, seven weeks behind schedule, as the first IU Athletics competition in seven and a half months starts on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington. Indiana has won 14 of its last 16 season openers, but the first opponent doesn’t typically look like this. Due to the modified Big Ten only schedule, the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions present a formidable foe to start the 2020 campaign. No. 8 PENN STATE (0-0, 0-0) at INDIANA (0-0, 0-0) Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET Location: Memorial Stadium (52,656 / no fans), Bloomington,…
It happens at the start of each new football season. Who is that? Where did he come from? When did he change positions?

The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2020 Indiana University football season on October 24 against Penn State in Bloomington. In our final profile we take a look at the specialists. Former safeties coach Kasey Teegardin takes over as the special teams coordinator in 2020 for the departed William Inge. Teegardin has been with the program since 2014. The 2020 specialists are for the most part a group of returning veterans. The lone exception is perhaps the highest profile position — placekicker. PLACEKICKER Charles Campbell is the…
As Indiana head coach Tom Allen remembers it, there were several moments in last season’s 34-27 loss to Penn State that he’d like to have back. That’s true of just about any football game, but for his star wide receiver Whop Philyor, the contest was particularly memorable. Or perhaps to Allen’s way of thinking — particularly forgettable. “There were several forgettable things in last year’s game, some self-inflicted, some inflicted upon us,” Allen said this week. One of the more significant self-inflicted moments came less than two minutes into the game, and quickly turned the tide. After IU forced a…
Our names to know series is a quick snapshot of new/young prospects on Indiana’s radar.

Hailing from Finland, Amzil recently enrolled in school in the U.S. and has seen a wave of offers and interest since his arrival. Amzil first garnered significant attention when he played for the…

The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2020 Indiana University football season on October 24 against Penn State in Bloomington. Today we take a look at the quarterbacks. It is all about No. 9 in 2020. After grueling quarterback competitions each of the last two seasons, there is no doubt this time. This is Michael Penix’s team. But while there are no questions about who is the starter, there are still concerns. Can the often injured Penix stay healthy? And if duty calls, is his backup ready?…
