BLOOMINGTON — Sid Swartzendruber was a little bit surprised. During a game, the then-Carmel High School defensive line coach, gave a signal to Beau Robbins.
“It’s hard,” Robbins said, “but I trust in our coaches, I believe in the program. Robbins was a highly-touted recruit in high school, but waited -- and waited -- for his turn at IU. But taking every day, appreciating every day with the mindset, where I’m gonna come get better and I’m gonna do what I need to do no matter what the circumstances are around that.” He came off the edge and yanked down Illinois quarterback Tommy DeVito. The fact that he already cared so much about the school, plus its proximity to his home and the opportunity to be part of building up the football program were factors in his decision to choose IU. But it was still that whole staying strong mentally, staying the course, just knowing that I need to get better, attacking every day and doing it positively, too. The following season, he didn’t see any game action but was named Defensive Scout Team Player of the Year. Earlier in his career, he was listed on IU's roster at 250 pounds. At Carmel, Robbins was a part of the 2016 Class 6A state championship team and 2018 state runner-up, and was named the 2018 Phil N. He rarely appeared during the 2019 season, allowing him to redshirt. Robbins shook his head again. Robbins shook his head.
Luke Haggard didn't want to play left tackle. The IU senior played youth football for only one year before getting to Petaluma (Calif.) ...
Haggard was already preparing to step into more of a leadership role this year, and his experience is even more beneficial now with the line adjusting to Parker Hanna stepping in for Bedford. “There’s a lot of room for improvement and he knows those things. Hiller wishes Haggard would speak up more, but knows that’s not who he is, and they don’t want to force him to be someone he isn’t. He feels the work has made a difference. “He just hasn’t been an offensive lineman for a whole long period of his life,” Hiller said. Over the summer he was listed as the No. And over the last year, Haggard has become an important part of IU’s offensive line. I don’t want to play it.’ But he showed me this could have a lot of upside to it.” That ranks 39th in the country and eighth in the Big Ten. The IU senior played youth football for only one year before getting to Petaluma (Calif.) High School, where he played defensive end and tight end as a freshman. Haggard didn’t really start learning the craft of the position until he got to Santa Rosa (Calif.) Junior College. He went on to win the team’s Chris Dal Sasso Award for outstanding lineman.

Still, Allen is looking for more consistency on that side of the ball. The 6-foot-3 redshirt junior has thrown for 527 yards and three touchdowns with one interception this season. It’ll be the third start for quarterback Connor Bazelak.
After a Friday game in the season opener and a late kickoff last week, Indiana is expecting a big draw with a noon kickoff on Saturday against WKU.
Batdorf played basketball and golf was part of the women's basketball team that reached the Elite 8 of the AIAW national tournament in 1972. Fancher also played basketball and was part of the AIAW Final Four team in 1973. Wittman is the 15th all-time leading scorer in IU basketball history and was part of the 1981 national championship team. With the combination of the early kickoff and the expected sizable crowd, IU is recommending fans arrive as early as they can. USA Football will play a part in executing the clinic. and the stage will be just outside of Mellencamp Pavilion.
What will determine success or failure Saturday afternoon against Western Kentucky? Five things Zach will be watching during a quietly crucial game.
This is the last of the games needed to put them in position to be in position to try and make a genuine bowl push. On the other, he eventually passed for 330 yards and a touchdown in his debut against the Illini. On the one hand, Bazelak has started slowly in both games, 4-of-11 against Illinois and 6-of-17 against Idaho. And if you could get Allen in a completely candid moment, last season’s win at Western Kentucky — when the Hoosiers raced out to a 14-0 lead and still wound up hanging on by their fingers late in the fourth quarter as Zappe and Co. But it’s still almost certainly going to be a major challenge for IU’s pass defense, front to back, and perhaps our best barometer yet of how far back toward being a Tom Allen defense this unit has moved in the past nine months. Zappe is in the NFL now, while Kittley is calling plays at Texas Tech, but Western Kentucky doubled down on his system when it replaced Kittley with co-coordinators Ben Arbuckle and Josh Crawford, both of whom were on staff last season. Already this season, the Hoosiers have six sacks and 14 tackles for loss as a team. This is the sort of game the Hoosiers, if they are to even threaten a return to the postseason in 2022, can only afford to win. The Hilltoppers have made their name across successive coaching regimes as a program unafraid to throw the ball and unbothered by shootouts. It should come as no surprise that Western Kentucky wants to throw the ball. Already this season, five different Hilltoppers have at least one interception, a suggestion that this is system as much as it is skill. But with two tough nonconference games upcoming and the remainder of the Big Ten schedule around the corner, there are no places left on the schedule to hide.

“That’s going to be a big challenge for our offensive line this week is some of those one-on-one matchups out on the edges and inside with their three techniques and all those things,” Helton said. “To go get a Big 10 win would be great, to be 3-0 would be great, but that doesn’t make or break a season by any means,” Helton said. These games definitely are important games but we’ve got to take it one game at a time.” Today’s rematch in Bloomington should be a decent travel game for WKU fans to attend, and the weather is supposed to be gorgeous at Indiana’s Memorial Stadium, which can hold a little more than 52,000 folks. “They’re a good football team. It was a tremendous atmosphere, even with Indiana surviving 33-31 in a game that came down to the final minutes.

The expected temperatures in Bloomington on game day are going to be in the mid to upper 80s and the heat index on the field is likely to exceed 100 degrees. With the schedule IU has the rest of the season, a win against Western Kentucky is a necessary part to the only realistic pathway back to the postseason. The IU secondary will have a difficult matchup going against Davis and Corley and throwing off the timing of this attack will be critical. This will be the fifth game and is the last scheduled meeting between the two. The most recent meeting was in Bowling Green and Indiana escaped with a 33-31 win. The Indiana Hoosiers and Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have played four times with the Hoosiers prevailing in each meeting.

The only team with more rushing yards given up in the Big Ten is Nebraska, who has played three games compared to Indiana’s two. “Each week, they are getting a little bit better, “Allen said. Camper, who leads the team in receiving yards, is still without a touchdown reception. “Be able to play at a high level right out of the gate— o be able to execute for four quarters. He’ll look to continue his success against a team that surrenders 125.5 rushing yards per game this season. The Hilltoppers are led by fourth-year head coach Tyson Helton and come off of a bye week in week two. The Hoosiers will see themselves against a familiar out-of-conference opponent as they face off against the Hilltoppers for the second year in a row. “You have two games to evaluate from this year, so you lean heavily on those,” Allen said.
