Tom Allen went into the offseason believing the Hoosiers needed a lot more length and girth in the front of the defense and he went out and got that. In Patrick Lucas and LeDarrius Cox, he brought in two 300-pound plus tackles from Ole Miss to work with returners Demarcus Elliott and Sio Nofoagatoto'a in the interior. Dominick James, a 6-2, 293-pound freshman from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. who had offers from Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State among other powerhouses, has proven to be a playmaker in the early going and could be an immediate part of the defensive tackle rotation. The best bet to start immediately, though, is California transfer JH Tevis. The defensive end role is open with Ryder Anderson out of eligibility after one season with the Hoosiers in which he finished second on the team in both sacks and tackles for loss. The 6-4, 281-pound Tevis doesn't bring the same length as the 6-6 Anderson, but he could also bring some pass rush skill and ability to set the edge. The coaching staff has also been impressed by the leadership of Tevis, who picked IU so he could pursue an MBA in the Kelley School of Business. - Indianapolis Star/News

04/21/22 - Kurtis Rourke, rSr/2025, Indiana, 6-4, 220 (DS#11 QB) + More +

With Armani Rogers gone, the dual-quarterback system that the Bobcats clung to over the past two seasons has been thrown out the window. However, that might not be a detriment. Kurtis Rourke, who will likely become Ohio's lone starting quarterback next season, can benefit from the extra time on the field. He's already been allotted more snaps during spring practices. Ohio's other quarterbacks, like C.J. Harris and Callum Wither, each took their fair share of snaps Saturday, but Rourke was on the field for the majority of practice. His position as next year's starter is nearly set in stone. Albin believes Rourke has been due for more responsibility and was impressed with his performance throughout spring ball. "He had a really good spring, as he should, because he's at the next step," Albin said. "He got a lot of experience. He did it all through spring ball, and he finished today. I thought he had a good day." - The Post

The Hoosiers' leading returning rusher among running backs is walk-on Charlie Spegal, who finished with 62 yards on 19 carries last season. They addressed the position in both the transfer portal and high school recruiting and liked what they saw in the spring. The 5-7, 190-pound Shivers left Auburn because he found himself pigeon-holed in a third-down role, and wanted to prove that he can be an every-down back. In the spring, he showed toughness in between the tackles and breakaway speed. "He continues to just show who he is," Allen said. - Indianapolis Star/News

Ty Son Lawton burst up the middle to score a 99-yard touchdown on Stony Brook's first play from scrimmage and the Seawolves shocked defending Colonial Athletic Association champion Delaware 34-17 on Saturday. The loss puts a serious dent in No. 15-ranked (in the FCS coaches poll) Delaware's postseason hopes. The Blue Hens (3-3, 2-2) advanced to the FCS semifinals during the spring season. Lawton rushed 22 times for 192 yards and scored a second touchdown from the 1-yard line early in the second quarter as the Seawolves (2-5, 1-3) built a 13-0 lead.

Tyquell Fields, who was 13-for-18 passing for 133 yards and a TD for Stony Brook, found Khalil Newton with a 26-yard scoring pass in the third quarter, boosting the lead to 20-10, then ran it in from the 1 for a 27-17 lead. Randy Pringle picked up a fumbled punt in the end zone for Stony Brook's final points. Zach Gwynn passed for 199 yards and two scores for Delaware and Dejoun Lee gained 91 yards on the ground. The Blue Hens lost 22-15 at No. 18-ranked Rhode Island a week ago and play host to second-place, and No. 7-ranked, James Madison on Oct.23. - AP College Football
