Who from Indiana football should make All-Big Ten when the teams are announced next week?
There are plenty of good cases to be made.
If they follow last year’s approach, the league office will announce first through third-team offensive and defensive coaches/media teams early next week.
Here are the players from Indiana who we think should make one of the teams or honorable mention.
