BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Two of the Hoosiers young guns along the offensive and defensive lines talked to IUHoosiers.com. Center Will Matte and defensive lineman Adam Replogle filled voids on their respective lines as freshmen last season and are poised to improve on their successes as sophomores.
Matte was named freshman All-Big Ten by Sporting News and recognized as a CollegeFootballNews.com Freshman All-America honorable mention selection in 2009. He started all 12 games at center and allowed just one sack.
As a unit, the offensive line allowed just 16 sacks on the season, a total that ranked second in the Big Ten and shared 28th nationally. The front five surrendered one sack per 27.5 pass attempts, which ranked second in the Big Ten, and the Hoosiers finished second in conference games only with 262.4 passing yards per game.
Replogle, the only true freshman to play for the Hoosiers in 2009, appeared in all 12 games and started the final 11 contests of the season at defensive tackle. The Centerville, Ohio, native earned a spot on the CollegeFootballNews.com Freshman All-America third team.
He finished third on the team with four sacks (16 yards), which ranked second among freshmen defensive tackles and third among all freshmen players in the Big Ten. Replogle added five tackles for loss (18 yards) and 32 tackles, 16 solo.
