At Indiana, replacing Tevin Coleman won't be one-man job
No one has to convince Indiana football coach Kevin Wilson the Hoosiers are going to need more than one man to replace a 2,000-yard rusher.
He told reporters Monday in Bloomington at least three players are in line to pick up the slack left by the departure of Tevin Coleman, who is now an Atlanta Falcon after he finished second in the nation in rushing (169.7 yards per game) in 2015 and opted to enter the draft a year early.
Heading up the 2015 rushing attack figure to be Jordan Howard and Devine Redding with the battle for the No. 3 spot ongoing between Ricky Brookins and Alex Rodriguez.
Wilson would also like to get a large number of players involved at wide receiver (as many as nine) and tight end (as many as four).
"We've talked a lot with this football team about checking your ego of who goes out first and being selfish," Wilson said. "We need about 18, 19, 20 starters. The best game we played last year was our game defensively at Missouri and we played everybody on the trip except one. Every guy went on the field and played that day, and I think the more we play guys, the better we're going to be.
"Like I say I'm not all giddy on the depth chart. We're going to play seven, eight, nine receivers easy, and I expect to play a couple 20 guys on both sides of the ball, not counting kicking game."
