13-23 was the combined record of the three Division 1 public schools in the state of Indiana. 13-23 with no bowl appearances. Purdue hasn’t bowled in 3 years, IU in 3, and BSU in 2 years. So how are programs turned around? Recruiting of course.
First lets take a look at the Hoosiers. IU rode 4 wins against non BCS conference teams, and a victory …
Wednesday was signing day throughout the country. First-year head coach Kevin Wilson had 21 players sign their National Letter of Intent to play football at Indiana University.
A third of his first Indiana signing class are from the state of Indiana, seven of the 21 players. Indiana added four defensive linemen, three linebackers, three cornerbacks and two safeties. IU also signed four offensive linemen, three …
These Hoosiers are looking good. Indiana has competed in four of the last five games and looked strong. With the exception of IU’s game at Iowa, Indiana has competed, battled and kept each game close.

Indiana is at .500. It is tonight where they decide …
