  The quarterback position at Indiana got thinner this spring. Indiana coach Tom Allen announced sophomore quarterback Dexter Williams suffered a torn ACL during spring practices last week. "A big blow to him and to us," Allen said. "It happened in a non-contact situation, just kind of one of those things that's hard to explain, just got to be able to develop that room and every other room as well." A borderline three/four-star quarterback out of Macon, Georgia, Williams didn't appear in any games for the Hoosiers last season as the third-string quarterback behind junior starter Michael Penix Jr. and junior backup Jack Tuttle. With Williams out, Tuttle is the only healthy scholarship quarterback available this spring. Penix is still rehabbing from his own torn ACL, with hopes of returning by the late summer to prepare for IU's season opener Sept. 4 at Iowa. - Herald Bulletin
