The Hoosiers appear to be rounding back into health, but a key veteran will be missing when Indiana opens their 2019-20 season on Tuesday night. Senior co-captain Devonte Green will miss the season opener against Western Illinois with a hamstring injury. “Devonte is still out (for a) time to be determined with that hamstring,” head coach Archie Miller said at a Monday press conference.  “He’s going to take it day by day.  There’s no rush.  And the biggest thing with him is to make sure that when he does come back he’s able to fully engage and we don’t have…

The New York native ran 26 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns and added a reception for 20 yards and another score.

Let’s get the easy part out of the way. This isn’t an addition by subtraction situation. Yes, Indiana had a couple big stars on its roster last season.  But it didn’t have a problem with bad attitudes or poor work ethic when it came to its higher profile players. So what went wrong with the 2018-19 Hoosiers? “I thought that the (2018-19) team competed hard at times,” Indiana head coach Archie Miller said at the Big Ten’s media day.  “What we lacked was maturity.  What we lacked was mental toughness going through adversity.  Things like that really hurt you, and…

After a strong start to their 2019 season, Indiana didn’t want to fumble away their momentum against Northwestern on Saturday night. Instead, it was the Wildcats that did all of the fumbling in Bloomington as IU picked up their seventh win of the season. Northwestern fumbled on their first drive of the game, and two more times before the first half was over as Indiana capitalized on the miscues with two touchdowns and ran out to a 24-3 halftime lead. True freshman cornerback Tiawan Mullen played a role in two of the three fumbles, and he had a message for…

As a trailblazer, it was never going to be an easy path for George Taliaferro. Even for a star athlete, transitioning from life in Gary, Indiana to racially segregated Bloomington didn’t come without its challenges in the 1940’s.  Taliaferro couldn’t live in the dorms and was only allowed on the IU campus to attend classes and football practice.  When he went to class, he couldn’t sit in the front row. When he went to the movies he was ordered by a sign to sit in a separate section.  Since then Taliaferro has often told the story of how he took…

My how things have changed since we last previewed a game to be played in Bloomington. Three weeks ago, Indiana was coming off a tough road loss to Michigan State, and “here we go again” was the prevailing wisdom. Now, with a November chill in the air, here we go again has become something that hadn’t been seen in more than 25 years.  Indiana is bowl eligible just eight games into the season while riding a three game conference winning streak. Suddenly, anything feels possible, but no one can be taken lightly. The Hoosiers and Wildcats meet under the lights…
