Indiana has allowed 200 or more yards on the ground five times this sea- son, topped by Wisconsin's staggering 564. Northwestern ran for 394 and Ohio State 353. And so on. The biggest issue for the IU defense is the same one it has had for years — lack of depth and talent. The Hoosiers just don't have the athletes to compete week in and week out with some of the good offenses they face in the Big Ten. INDIANA HOOSIERS ROSTER No. Name ............
