2 Indiana FOOTBALL The Western Michigan Game - September 12, Scouting Western Michigan In 2008, Western Michigan posted the third ninewin season in program history en route to its fourth bowl appearance. The Broncos opened the 2009 campaign with a 31-7 loss at Michigan on Sept. 5. U-M outgained WMU, , and held a edge on the ground. Broncos All-MAC quarterback Tim Hiller passed for 259 yards on 22-of-38 with one touchdown and two interceptions. The senior holds WMU singleseason records in attempts (522), completions (339), yards (3,725) and touchdowns (36) and is one of only two quarterbacks to reach the 3,000-yard plateau twice in a career. Senior Brandon West paced the Broncos with 41 yards on 13 carries against the Wolverines. An All-MAC selection a year ago, West became the 15th running back in program history to break the 1,000-yard barrier (1,026). He also returned 28 kicks for 637 yards and became the school s all-time allpurpose yardage leader. Hiller s favorite target in the opener, Juan Nunez, caught seven balls for 151 yards and a 73-yard score. The junior earned All-MAC honors in 2008 after sharing the team lead with seven touchdowns in addition to 57 receptions for 701 yards. The Broncos return 32 letterwinners overall and seven starters on offense, but just three on the defensive side of the ball. First team All-MAC honoree Austin Pritchard is one of those starters. The senior linebacker led the team with 12.5 tackles for loss in 2008 and opened the year with a game-high 11 tackles, eight solo, and one forced fumble. University of Miami transfer, Doug Wiggins, made his WMU debut against the Wolverines a good one. The junior safety added nine tackles, five solo. Bill Cubit is in his fifth year at the helm of Western Michigan. He has led the Broncos to two bowl appearances in the last three seasons, facing Rice in the 2008 Texas Bowl and Cincinnati in the 2007 International Bowl. 1-2 Punch Tandon Doss and Damarlo Belcher flashed moments of brilliance as true freshmen last season and after the 2009 opener, it appears more is on the way. Doss matched a career high with eight receptions against Eastern Kentucky and set a new career best with 125 receiving yards, his second career 100-yard receiving game. Belcher matched his career best with six receptions and racked up a career-high 97 receiving yards. With their 222 combined yards, the duo eclipsed its combined high from last season of 189, which set an Indiana true freshmen record, in the team s win over No. 22 (BCS) Northwestern. The last time two Hoosiers reached the 100-yard mark in the same game came against Ball State on Nov. 3, 2007, when Ray Fisher (134) and James Hardy (116) broke the century mark. Belcher, a 6-5, Fort Wayne native, played in all 12 games and finished the 2008 season fourth on the team with 25 receptions, third with 337 yards, tied for second with two touchdowns, and third with 13.5 yards per catch and 28.1 yards per game. His 337 yards and 25 grabs rank third in IU history among true freshmen. Doss, a 6-3, Indianapolis product, played in eight games and caught 14 passes for 186 yards, averaging The Hoosiers will wear this patch on their uniforms this season to celebrate the 125th year of Indiana University Football yards per reception, and added one touchdown. He hauled in eight passes for a team season-high 107 yards and a TD vs. Northwestern. Doss became the first true freshman since O.J. Conner in 1997 to go over 100 receiving yards, just the third true freshman (fourth time) in IU history to record a 100-yard receiving game (Ernie Jones, twice; Conner) and the fifth freshman (10th time) to reach the 100-yard mark (James Hardy, five times; Jones, twice; Levron Williams; Conner). Their 523 combined yards in 2008 rank second and their 39 combined receptions rank third all-time by a true freshman duo in IU lore. Going To The Chappell Junior Ben Chappell took over the reigns at quarterback in the spring and showed he is in control of the offense in the team s season-opening victory over Eastern Kentucky. Chappell posted a career-high 326 yards, going 27-for-36 with one touchdown in the process. He became the 15th player in school history to pass for 300 yards in a game and the first Hoosier to eclipse 300 yards since Kellen Lewis (354) did so against Ball State on Nov. 3, An accounting major with a 3.7 grade point average, Chappell carries those smarts onto the field. The Bloomington South High School graduate is now 2-2 as a starting quarterback with three touchdowns, two rushing scores, a 59.7 completion percentage, yards per game and two interceptions. Chappell played in 11 contests with three starts last season and threw for 1,001 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. He completed 52.3 percent of his passes (80-of-153) and carded a efficiency rating. In the team s victory over No. 22 (BCS) Northwestern, Chappell threw a 43-yard touchdown, rushed for another and went 21-of-34 (61.8) for a career-high 219 yards. Big Play Gunslinger When Ben Chappell hit Damarlo Belcher with a 33-yard TD strike against Eastern Kentucky, it marked his fifth career score. All five of Chappell s touchdowns have come from 30-plus yards (33, 43, 43, 64, 77). Chappell teamed up with three different receivers for five 20-plus yard passes in the season opener. He connected twice with Belcher, twice with Tandon Doss and once with Mitchell Evans. FOR STARTERS With its victory over Eastern Kentucky, the Hoosiers improved to in home openers at Memorial Stadium and have now won their last eight season kickoffs at The Rock. In fact, Indiana has won 25 of its last 28 home starters. IU has also won its last six season openers and seven of its last eight. Head coach Bill Lynch is 3-0 in openers, as the Hoosiers dominated Indiana State (55-7) and Western Kentucky (31-13) in 2007 and 2008, respectively, to go along with their EKU triumph. Switch To Lockdown Of the six position changes made during spring practice, none carried more importance than senior Ray Fisher s move to cornerback. In his defensive debut against Eastern Kentucky, Fisher made an instant impact. With 11:49 remaining and the Hoosiers holding a advantage, Fisher forced a fumble by Eastern Kentucky quarterback Cody Watts at the IU 5-yard line. Senior defensive end Jammie Kirlew recovered and the Hoosiers earned a season-opening victory. The Cleveland native also closed out the game with a team-best five solo tackles. Fisher is one of 14 Hoosiers with 100 career receptions and 1,000 career receiving yards, but he showed during preseason camp and in the opener he is comfortable at the position he manned as a two-way player at Glenville High School. He has the speed and now weighs 185 pounds, up 13 pounds from last year s playing weight of 172. Bringing The Heat A year after setting a school record and sharing eighth nationally with 42 sacks, the Hoosier defense

3 Indiana FOOTBALL The Western Michigan Game - September 12, posted the fourth-highest total in IU history with 31 sacks in The two-year total of 73 sacks is the top two-year total in IU history and averaged out to just under three sacks per game. IU s defense bested that average with four sacks in the season opener vs. Eastern Kentucky. Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Larry Black, Jr., and sophomore defensive end Darius Johnson each made their first career sack in the second quarter. Senior linebacker Matt Mayberry had his sixth career sack in the first quarter, while senior linebacker Will Patterson added a sack of his own, for a safety and the first Hoosier points of the season, moving his career total to 5.5. The four sacks were for a combined loss of 45 yards. Indiana also recorded seven tackles for loss in the win, led by Mayberry and Black, Jr., who each tallied two. End Game The Hoosiers own two of the nation s top defensive ends in Jammie Kirlew and Greg Middleton. The All-America candidates own 36.5 career combined sacks, the highest total for a tandem in the country. Both players appear on the Watch List for the 2009 Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award. Kirlew, one of six finalists for the honor in 2008, and Middleton, one of eight finalists for the award in 2007, are two of 30 preseason candidates. The two are one of only a pair of teammates from the same university on the list, joining Oklahoma ends Jeremy Beal and Auston English. Kirlew, who is fourth on IU s tackles for loss career list (38) and a half-sack out of fifth on the career sacks chart, was selected to the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List in addition to being named first team All- Big Ten by Lindy s preseason magazine and Sporting News and preseason All-Big Ten by Athlon Sports. Lindy s also rated him the eighth-best defensive end in the country. The Orlando native earned first team All-Big Ten from the conference media and second team by the league s coaches and collected honorable mention SI.com All-American honors last season. He also secured second team Rivals.com All-Big Ten and received the team s Anthony Thompson MVP Award, outstanding defensive lineman award and defensive player of the year honors. Kirlew finished the 2008 campaign with 10.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss, both ranked fourth on Indiana s single-season list. Additionally, he was second in the Big Ten and tied for 14th nationally in sacks and third in the league and sixth nationally in tackles for loss. Middleton ranks fourth in school history with 20 career sacks. He ended 2008 third on the team with four sacks and fifth with five tackles for loss. Middleton shared the team lead with two fumble recoveries (tied for third in league games and fifth overall), forced one fumble and broke up one pass. The 2007 All-American became the first IU defensive lineman since Adewale Ogunleye in 1997 to earn first team All-Big Ten honors. He set a new single-season school record with 16 sacks, which also led the nation. In Good Hands Jammie Kirlew is also one of the most talented Hoosiers off the field.

The fifth-year senior defensive end out of Orlando, studied abroad in Italy during the 2007 summer, volunteered for President Barack Obama s presidential campaign and directed, produced and wrote a film for the Campus MovieFest competition this spring. Junior wideout Terrance Turner and junior running back Trea Burgess starred in the film titled Spring Break-up. Kirlew is one of several notable Hoosiers to excel in extracurricular activities off the field. Turner is a theatre and drama major. He has starred in two campus plays - An American Ma(u)l and The America Play. Teammate and junior cornerback Adrian Burks also performed in An American Ma(u)l. Fifth-year senior running back Bryan Payton wrote for IU s student paper, the Indiana Daily Student, last year and interned with his hometown paper, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, this summer. Two Kelley School of Business student-athletes took advantage of the school s internship program this summer. Long snapper Brandon Bugg traveled to Hong Kong working for KPMG, while quarterback Ben Chappell stayed in Bloomington and interned with BKD CPAs & Advisors. New Season, New Leadership Following the 2008 season, the senior class immediately took it upon themselves to make sure there would not be a repeat performance in The 19 scholarship seniors, all of whom will contribute significantly this season, brought a new intensity, beginning with 6 a.m. winter workouts, and held themselves and their teammates accountable. Coupled with the 18 scholarship juniors, the Hoosiers have 35-plus scholarship upperclassmen for the first time since 2001 (36). The upperclassmen made it a point to keep the players around this summer, as nearly the entire team stayed in Bloomington. That attitude carried over into camp, as observers and coaching staff noted a different feel around this team. The extra work and perseverance continued with the most physical camp during their IU tenures. In The Trenches The Hoosiers used seven different starting lineups and nine total offensive linemen, including three players receiving their first career action, in Everyone being pressed into action should pay dividends for the Hoosiers this season. Seven linemen return with 84 starts among them, making Indiana s line one of the most experienced in the country. In addition, IU has nine linemen with at least three years of experience and seven with at least four years. The most experienced duo in the group is left tackle Rodger Saffold (29 starts) and right guard Pete Saxon (28). Starters since their true freshman seasons, the two entered their senior campaigns as the undisputed leaders on the offensive line. In 2008, Saffold started 10 games at left tackle, while Saxon started five games at left guard before moving to center and starting five times. Saffold has started 30 of the team s last 34 games and has appeared in 31 games in his career, and Saxon has started 29 of IU s last 32 games and appeared in 33 games in his career. Joining Saffold and Saxon are Justin Pagán (5), Will Matte and James Brewer, at left guard, center and right tackle, respectively. Pagán had his redshirt lifted and started the last five games of 2008 and played in seven games overall. The Chicago native, who was one of three true freshmen to see playing time, made two starts at left tackle, two at left guard and one at right tackle, and he played four of the five positions on the offensive line (center). In his five starts, the team averaged rushing yards per game. Mike Stark, started 11 games and played in all 12 contests at right tackle, but his career was cut short due to a back injury and he is now serving as a student assistant. Brewer received the first start of his career against Eastern Kentucky after turning in what was arguably the Hoosiers most valuable performance the entire spring. The 6-8, 331-pounder has battled foot and ankle injuries throughout his

4 Indiana FOOTBALL The Western Michigan Game - September 12, career, but has shown he is a dominant force when he is on the football field. Matte, who was named the team s 2008 cooffensive scout player of the year, started most of the spring at center and received the first start and playing time of his career vs. Eastern Kentucky. The Wheaton, Ill., native is a smart and athletic athlete with good size (6-2, 285). Lock And Load The Hoosiers installed the Pistol offense this spring after visiting with the Nevada coaching staff in the offseason. With Ben Chappell at quarterback, an improved and veteran offensive line and five running backs capable of receiving meaningful playing time, head coach Bill Lynch wanted to become more of a downhill running team with a more multiple offensive attack. In the Hoosier Pistol offense, the quarterback lines up four yards behind the center and the running back lines up three-to-four yards behind the quarterback. The running back receives the ball deeper in the backfield, enabling him to run downhill and allowing the offense to use more play-action pass. STABLE OF BACKS Running behind the improved offensive line will be a stable of backs who will vie for meaningful playing time this season. Indiana returns a trio of players who raced for a combined 73 yards per game in Those players enjoyed a profitable spring and preseason camp primarily learning the team s new Pistol formation. Fifth-year senior Demetrius McCray, who started on opening night and led the Hoosiers with 49 yards on 13 carries, rushed for 214 yards on 59 carries (3.6 average) and two touchdowns in The Brandon, Fla., native has 721 career yards on 182 attempts, good for a 4.0 average, and has crossed the goal line four times. After redshirting last year, former Franklin Central standout Darius Willis will receive the opportunity to display the talent that made him one of the highest-rated recruits in the state two seasons ago. He earned the 2008 co-offensive scout team player of the year honors along with Will Matte. Willis rushed for 1,728 yards (6.0 average) and 28 scores and was runner-up for Indiana Mr. Football his senior campaign. He collected all-state, All-Marion County and all-conference honors. Junior Trea Burgess, who contributed 54 yards last year and scored the team s lone rushing TD in the opener, moved to linebacker to start spring practice before returning to his original position. He impressed the remainder of the spring, leading the team with 92 yards on 10 carries with two touchdown scampers of 30-or-more yards in the spring game. Fifth-year senior running back Bryan Payton, nicknamed Pops - he will turn 24 on Sept finished third on the team with 339 yards and a 4.3 average with two scores in In his career, Payton owns 761 yards, 188 attempts, a 4.0 average and six touchdowns. Sophomore Zach Davis-Walker, who has been slowed by the rehab from offseason shoulder surgery and did not play against Eastern Kentucky, debuted in 2008 following a redshirt season with 106 yards and a 4.6 average. He carried the ball 23 times and scored one touchdown. Catching On A deep and talented pool wideouts allowed the coaching staff to move members of the corps to the secondary this spring. Along with Tandon Doss and Damarlo Belcher s career nights in the season opener, junior Terrance Turner matched his career high with five grabs and posted a career-high 57 yards in the win vs. Eastern Kentucky. The elder statesman of the group, Turner played in all 12 games last season and finished third on the team with 29 receptions and fourth on the club with 289 yards. On the inside, junior Mitchell Evans will dedicate himself to one position for the first time since arriving on campus. Evans has played wideout, quarterback, safety and on special teams in his career. He grabbed three balls for 25 yards against Eastern Kentucky. Last season, Evans played in all 12 games at wide receiver and quarterback (three games). The tough and adaptable West Milton, Ohio, native caught nine balls for 129 yards, threw for 37 yards with one TD and rushed for 26 yards with a score. Finally, sophomore Matt Ernest saw time in five games and made three catches for 18 yards in The Hitmen Of all the injuries the Hoosiers suffered last season, the Indiana secondary was hit the hardest. Three-quarters of the unit, including safeties Austin Thomas and Nick Polk, sustained season-ending ACL injuries. Thomas missed seven starts due to injuries (ankle and ACL), while Polk missed five starts (knee, ACL). Both players showed no ill effects from their offseason surgeries and are back to bolster what should be a much-improved defense. Thomas finished 2008 with 41 tackles, 22 solo, and led the team with two interceptions. He is second on the Hoosiers with 204 tackles and with 121 solos since the start of the 2006 season (Will Patterson, 205 and 130). In his career, Thomas has seven doubledigit tackle games, including a 22-tackle effort at Michigan State in He also forced a fumble, recorded two tackles for loss and broke up a pass last season. In the Hoosiers win over No. 22 (BCS) Northwestern, Thomas collected 10 stops, five solo, picked off a pair of passes and netted one pass breakup. Polk has three double-digit tackle games in his career and has a knack for always being around the ball. In his two-plus seasons with the defense (receiver as a freshman), Polk has forced four fumbles, recovered two and picked off three passes He finished sixth on the team with 52 tackles and fifth with 40 solos in Polk recovered one fumble and returned it 31 yards for a score against Ball State. In addition, he shared the team lead with two forced fumbles, picked off one pass, broke up two passes and recorded 1.5 tackles for loss. Middle Men Two-thirds of one of the deepest and most talented positions on the team last season returned in the opener and were joined by a junior who turned in one of the top defensive performances in the 2008 finale. Senior linebackers Will Patterson and Matt Mayberry welcomed Tyler Replogle at the strongside position. Patterson, who missed spring practice with a wrist injury, was named captain prior to the 2008 campaign and finished fourth on the team with 55 WEEKLY HONORS Head coach Bill Lynch will announce game captains each week at his Tuesday press conference.

He leads all active Hoosier players with 205 career tackles and 130 career solo stops. Patterson started nine games at weak-side linebacker and posted 8.5 tackles for loss, which shared second on the club, with one interception and one fumble recovery. Mayberry, in his first season as a starter patrolling the middle, led the team and finished 10th in the Big Ten with 89 tackles a year ago. He became the first member of the front seven to lead IU in tackles since 2005 (Kyle Killion). Mayberry also finished second with five sacks and shared second with 8.5 tackles for loss, as he started all 12 games. The duo each recorded five tackles and a sack - Mayberry s for 15 yards and Patterson s for 10 and a safety - in the season-opening victory over Eastern Kentucky. Mayberry added a second TFL and Patterson s safety accounted for Indiana s first points of the 2009 campaign. Replogle finished the 2008 season with 26 tackles over the last two Saturdays, including a team seasonhigh 19 tackles, nine solo, with the first sack of his career at Purdue. He earned the Terry P. Cole Impact Player Award as the team s most outstanding player in the Old Oaken Bucket game. Replogle, who appeared in 11 games and was named Indiana s special teams player of the year, finished with 38 tackles, 20 solo, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Hang Time Sophomore punter Chris Hagerup was limited during spring practice due to offseason ACL surgery, but showed he was ready in preseason camp. Hagerup received honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition from the conference media and was a Sporting News, Rivals.com and Phil Steele Magazine Freshman All-American second team selection last season. The Whitefish Bay, Wis., native finished the year with an average of 42.4 yards on 61 punts, which was the seventh-best single-season average in school history, and ranked third in the Big Ten and 22nd nationally. Hagerup s average was the third best by a freshman in the country. Hagerup netted 13 punts over 50 yards, kicked at least one 50-yarder in nine games, landed 14 punts inside the 20-yard line and five inside the 10. He averaged over 40 yards per kick in six of the last seven games and eight of the last 10 and his 67-yard punt against Michigan State shared the longest in the conference. Hagerup finished the year with a 43.0 average, 11 punts over 50 yards and 13 inside the 20 over the final 10 games (37.0 average first two games). BROTHER, Brother True freshman defensive tackle Adam Replogle was the lone true freshman to appear in the Hoosiers opener against Eastern Kentucky. Replogle is one of three true freshmen listed on the two-deep (Duwyce Wilson, WR; Edward Wright-Baker, QB). Adam s brother, Tyler, started the Eastern Kentucky game as the Hoosiers strong-side linebacker. If Adam works his way into the starting rotation alongside Tyler, they will become the first brothers to start together at IU since Antwaan (QB) and Curtis (DB) Randle El started 14 games together in Game Captains Head coach Bill Lynch will announce game captains each week at his Tuesday press conference. Seniors Will Patterson (2008 captain), Jammie Kirlew, Rodger Saffold and junior Ben Chappell served as game captains vs. Eastern Kentucky. Please visit page four to see this season s game captains. Scouting Combine In a testament to the talented seniors on the Hoosier roster, scouts from 26 of the 32 NFL teams made their way to Bloomington during preseason camp. Staying Home A native and lifelong Hoosier with 31 years coaching experience in the state, head coach Bill Lynch has stressed the importance of recruiting Indiana kids and keeping them in the state. The 2009 Hoosier roster proves Lynch is doing just that. Fortyeight players on the 105-man roster hail from the Hoosier state. Traditions Continue In his first season in Bloomington, late head coach Terry Hoeppner installed several new traditions that have grown into can t miss gameday events. The team will continue The Walk with a new route this season. Two hours before kickoff the team will be dropped off at the West doors of Assembly Hall and walk across the parking lot into The Rock. The IU Marching Hundred and Cheerleading Squads will still perform for the fans and form a pathway to show their support for the Hoosiers as they head toward the crimson gates of Memorial Stadium. The Rock is the symbol representing Memorial Stadium. After a two-year move due to the stadium construction, the three-ton piece of limestone atop a two-ton limestone base has returned to its familiar place beyond the north end zone. Prior to each game, Coach Lynch and the players will march out of the weight room in the North End Zone Student-Athlete Development Center and touch The Rock before hitting the field. Additionally, the players will continue to join the fans and band in the singing of Indiana, Our Indiana following each home victory. The Lynch Shows New for the 2009 season, The Bill Lynch Show, will air weekly on the Big Ten Network. The show will premiere at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2. Each week following the opener, the show will broadcast at 5 p.m. on Thursdays. Director of Broadcast Services for IU Athletics, Jeremy Gray, will host the show. Coach Lynch s radio show, Inside IU Football with Bill Lynch, will be held each and every Monday night throughout the season at 7 p.m. on the IU Radio Network.

6 Indiana FOOTBALL The Western Michigan Game - September 12, New Stadium, New Experience The Indiana University Department of Athletics has developed several new experiences and promotions designed to enhance the gameday experience at Memorial Stadium for home football games. New experiences at Memorial Stadium include: Knothole Park: Knothole Park is a brand new recreation area behind the south end zone at Memorial Stadium. The park features a Field-Turf replica of the playing field at Memorial Stadium and children ages 13 and under will get to play with Nerf footballs, hang out with IU student-athletes from a variety of sports and chalk the driveway behind the field that has been appropriately renamed Knothole Road. Kicks-for-Keeps: The large nets behind the two goalposts are gone and much like going to a baseball game, field goals and extra points will head into the stands. If a fan catches or retrieves a ball kicked by the Hoosiers, they will be allowed to exchange the ball for an official IU adidas game ball that will feature an embossed IU logo on the ball. If a spectator catches or retrieves a ball kicked by the opposing team, they are encouraged to throw it back onto the field. By doing so, the spectator will receive a free T-Shirt acknowledging that they threw the ball back at Memorial Stadium. Red Light Specials: Once every game, a special IU vehicle will drive down Knothole Road with a red siren on top of the vehicle. An announcement will then be made about what concession item will be that game s Red Light Special. As long as the red light is on, the noted concession item will cost just one dollar. Concession items and the time of the Red Light Special will change each week. Shorter Lines: To cut down on the long lines before kickoff, Indiana Athletics has purchased more scanners and hired additional staff to expedite the process of getting fans into Memorial Stadium. Little 5 Feel : By purchasing a certain number of tickets, residence halls, fraternities, sororities and other student organizations can have painted bed sheets, flags, and part of Knothole Road painted with their letters, logo or organization name. Hoosier Helpers and Ask Me Buttons: To enhance everyone s gameday experience, Indiana Athletics has enlisted volunteers to serve as Hoosier Helpers. Hoosier Helpers will be on hand to answer questions and help with emergencies and uncomfortable situations. Ushers will be wearing Ask Me buttons to encourage spectators to approach them with questions that they might have. Greening Memorial Stadium: In an effort to mix red with green, there will be prominently labeled recycling bins located around all the concourses of Memorial Stadium. Crimson Club: A rewards system to thank students for attending IU athletic events. Every time an IU student attends an IU sporting event, they will be awarded points. By accruing points over the year, they will be eligible to win valuable prizes like ipods and TVs. Game Day T-Shirt: Hoosier students are encouraged to wear their IU Game Day T-shirt. The shirt was designed by a student and won in an online vote against nine other designs.
