How does first-year defensive coordinator Charlton Warren improve an IU defense that ranked top-15 nationally in forced turnovers and sacks per game? The answer is an increased emphasis on creating pressure or "havoc" in the opposing backfield without blitzing, allowing the back seven to play tighter coverage for shorter periods of time. IU defensive line coach Kevin Peoples said the defense keeps tracks of every havoc play (sack, tackle for loss, forced fumble, pass breakup, interception) during practice and names a havoc leader at the end of each day. Through five days of fall practice, redshirt sophomore defensive tackle C.J. Person and the defensive line have been consistently disruptive up front.

At 6-3 and 292 pounds, Person added lean muscle during the offseason while maintaining his strength and increasing his explosiveness off the line of scrimmage. His ability to win his matchups up front and generate pressure will be key for the Hoosiers. "C.J. Person has really stepped up, (we're) pleased with him," Peoples said. "C.J.'s always been a talent. I mean he's been twitchy, he's got a little extra athleticism, a little twitch. ... He did some really good things for us last year, but it started with him in the spring and then all through the summer. He had a tremendous summer. "He changed his body... He's done an unbelievable job of really taking coach (Aaron) Wellman's leadership in the weight room, and then changing the things that he needs to change." - Indianapolis Star/News
