The IUSF initiative only permits undergraduate Bloomington campus students to coach in the pits on race day. The new rule takes effect for the race this spring.

Watching the game tape from Sunday's overtime loss to in-state rival Notre Dame, IU men's soccer coach Mike Freitag noticed a couple things about his team's play.

"We had some heavy-legged backs, some tired backs that came against the Tasmanian devil (Lapira)," Freitag said.
