Run defense key to stopping Wisconsin The last two times the IU defense took on the challenge in defending a rushing team, the Hoosiers came out on the short end of the stick. After giving up a combined 656 yards on the ground to Illinois (Sept. 22), and Michigan State (Oct. 20), IU coach Bill Lynch is hoping that the third time is the charm. "You have to stop the run," Lynch said. "That's a coaching cliche, but I think there's a lot of truth to it."
Hardy on Wisconsin After notching a career-high 14 receptions last Saturday, junior wide receiver James Hardy said will look to build on his previous performance against Wisconsin. Last year, Hardy only had one catch for eight yards. "I'm a different player than what I was last year," Hardy said. "I prepare myself to dominate, so it sort of is a grudge but my first Big Ten game my first year I had 130 (yards). Mentally I've grown, so I really don't think about it."
