Stacked Up: Ball State vs. Indiana

Today starts our weekly piece comparing Ball State and their opponents position by position.

Quarterback

Indiana football fans haven’t had much to cheer about in a long while. The Hoosiers have had just one winning record since 1995 and in that special 2007 season, IU played in the Insight Bowl. Five coaches later, and Indiana is hoping they have found their long-term solution.
