IU freshman tight end Ted Bolser was named to the John Mackey Award midseason watch list on Tuesday.
Several of IU’s players are feeling the effects of the violent sport of football and seeking treatment for injuries ranging from minor to significant, which is all-too-regular in football by the midway point of the season.
After catching only one pass for nine yards in the first half, junior wideout Damarlo Belcher had the most productive second half of his college career.
Elevated to the primary position after sophomore Darius Willis was ruled out for the season with a knee injury Thursday, the senior running back yielded his first career 100-yard game on 19 carries.
Despite surrenduring 34 points, the Hoosiers' defensive unit clamped down in the final stages against Arkansas State unlike it had before, Justin Albers writes.
Fourth quarter fumbles nearly doom Hoosiers Saturday.
A knee injury has sidelined IU sophomore starting running back Darius Willis for the rest of the season, the team announced Thursday.
On Saturday at Memorial Stadium, this season’s repeating trend of ambulatory, versatile quarterbacks serving as the center of attention for the IU defense continues — a case that’s becoming more regular in college football.
Saturday’s Homecoming contest with Arkansas State is a make-or-break moment for IU. Win and the Hoosiers are back on the right track, only two games from bowl eligibility. Lose and it becomes a lost season.
Going into the Homecoming game against Arkansas State at noon Saturday, the Hoosiers are currently ranked third in the country in fewest penalties per game (3.4) and fifth-fewest in turnovers lost (5).
A knee injury has sidelined IU sophomore starting running back Darius Willis for the rest of the season, the team announced Thursday.
The reserve quarterbacks produced the Hoosiers' only touchdown against the then-No. 2 Buckeyes last Saturday.
The only touchdown the Hoosiers scored against the now-No. 1 Buckeyes provided some laughs on the sideline, senior quarterback Ben Chappell said.

The Buckeyes played to win the game, and the Hoosiers did not, which demonstrates how far apart the two football programs are, Justin Albers writes.
Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor threw for a career-high in yards to lead now-No. 1 Ohio State (6-0, 2-0) to a 38-10 win against the Hoosiers (3-2, 0-2) on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
Agile quarterback Terrelle Pryor and the rest of the second-ranked Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0) had a first-half field day on the IU (3-2, 0-2) defense in a 38-10 win, scoring 31 points before the break.
This Saturday, the Hoosiers will take on No. 2 Ohio State. For the Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1), a key to slowing the Buckeyes may be in IU’s offensive line.
If the IU defense didn’t get enough of a fast, mobile quarterback in last Saturday’s loss to Michigan, plenty more of the same medicine is in store for them this weekend.
The Hoosiers’ defense forces a three-and-out and another punt. No. 39 runs back out on the field, ready to break through the line yet again. This could be the one that changes the game. This is the life of No. 39 — this is the life of Brandon McGhee.
