Game Week

The season is finally upon us. Thursday will begin the start of another Hoosier season with hopes of making a bowl trip at the end of the year. Before kickoff on Thursday here are a few things you should know.

-With the first depth chart released it looks like Aaron Price and Marc Damisch will be starting at guards. Justin Pagan and Cody Faulkner were hurt most of the off season so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that the hard work of Price and Damisch have gotten them a spot with the starters for week 1. The coaching staff will be rotating many players on the o-line throughout the game so expect to see a handful of different combinations of players on the field.

- Matt Ernest got the nod at the corner spot opposite of Richard Council. Ernest had a good spring and followed it up with a good fall as well. There was great competition at the corner position this off season and like most of the other positions, the coaching staff will rotate a handful of guys. JUCO Andre Kates has been playing well but has only been here since the summer so I'm not too surprised he didn't crack the starting lineup week 1.

- With Tandon Doss being held out of the starting lineup due to an injury look for Duwyce Wilson to step up and have a big game. The Hoosiers are loaded at the WR position so there will most likely be a handful of players that get playing time. This will be a great opportunity for Duwyce in particular to really show what he can do.

- At the running back position there could be the possibility of freshman Antonio Banks or Matt Perez seeing some playing time. Banks came here in the spring so he probably has a leg up on Perez at this point but don't be surprised if some young tail backs get a look.
