The 115th season of Big Ten football will end with something many fans have been clamoring for: a conference championship game.

Hoosiers take next step with first practice

·

“When you have some disappointing losses that we had last year, you can go one of two ways,” IU coach Bill Lynch said of his team’s overall attitude. “Just watching what they did (Friday), they certainly did their work during the summer.”

Multiple WRs 'not a problem'

·

Despite an offense with three wide receivers popularly accepted as some of the best the Big Ten will offer, the questions for IU football coach Bill Lynch weren’t about potentially mind-numbing statistics for yards or touchdowns.

Best of Lynch: Media Day edition

Think you’ll see a furious Lynch on the sidelines again this year? You might — but expect the Hoosiers to be much improved from last year, at least based on Lynch’s preseason comments. Here are some of the highlights of Lynch’s Big Ten Media Day presser:

Former Hoosier beats second bout of leukemia

·

The only quarterback ever to lead IU to victories against Michigan and Ohio State in the same season has been inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame — but that’s only part of the story. The rest is of a father of four who has twice defeated cancer and the support of a University that feels more like a family than an institution.

Carroll committed the perfect college crime

·

It’s only fitting that the NCAA hit the USC football program with a 2-year postseason ban, a loss of 30 scholarships, and a required vacancy of all wins from December 2004 to January 2006, after an investigation found former running back Reggie Bush received improper benefits from individuals outside the program.

Spring game exceeds Glass’ expectations

Heading into this year’s Cream and Crimson Spring Game, IU Athletics Director Fred Glass said he wouldn’t measure success by the number of people in the stands.  He had no hard numbers to compare it to — because previous administrations didn’t count attendance — but Glass said the turnout was obviously better than it normally was, and he’s ecstatic to see 5,325 people in the stands.

In last practice until August, Crimson wins error-filled game vs. Cream, 17-10

A record 5,325 fans traveled to Memorial Stadium for the annual Cream and Crimson Spring Game on Saturday. But if they were looking for mistake-free football, they went to the wrong place. Seven total turnovers and nine punts highlighted Crimson’s 17-10 victory, something IU coach Bill Lynch attributed to the divided nature of a spring game.
