Mitchell Evans News

Don't be surprised if Indiana receiver and Wildcat specialist Mitchell Evans ends up back in the secondary.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - An Indiana University offense rich with talented football players might do more than carry the defense early next season, coach Bill Lynch said Tuesday.

Heard this one before? Indiana jumps out to a big lead on the road, lets opportunities for a bigger lead slip away, then stumbles to the finish for another heartbreaking loss.

Indiana will use option and misdirection plays in its bid to pull upset in State College.

The future of Indiana football is making its first appearance at Beaver Stadium on Saturday.

Indiana head football coach Bill Lynch announced linebacker Will Patterson , quarterback Ben Chappell and wide receivers Terrance Turner and Mitchell Evans will serve as game captains when the Hoosiers travel to Penn State at noon on Saturday.

Just got a look at the transcripts from Joe Paterno's press conference earlier in the day.

The Indiana Hoosiers, receiver/quarterback Mitchell Evans said, are not broken, demoralized, depressed or in need of a visit from Dr.

At Indiana, it comes down to this. Forget the blown leads, the narrow loss at Michigan, even the questionable calls.

In the words this week of Indiana coach Bill Lynch, the college football season has reached its fourth quarter.

Iowa's A.J. Edds hit Indiana quarterback Ben Chappell from behind. The ball ricocheted off the left hand of Iowa's Chris Ballard, then the right shoulder of Indiana's James Brewer, Chappell's right arm, off the back of Edds and into the hands of Iowa's Tyler Sash, who returned the interception 86 yards for a Hawkeyes touchdown Saturday.

Does Indiana have to play four quarters? Can it petition the NCAA to call its games after three quarters? The Hoosiers would be bowl eligible if fourth quarters were tossed out.

Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg IOWA CITY, Iowa -- So much for my prediction that Indiana won't have many sustained drives against No.

Indiana coach Bill Lynch took a firm stand Tuesday: He doesn't regret any of the plays he called against Northwestern.

Northwestern took its time as it made its way down the field for the eventual game-winning field goal.

I've seen enough Indiana games to no that no lead is safe. But Saturday's 29-28 loss to Northwestern still came as a shock.

Obviously Indiana head football coach Bill Lynch was pleased with the way his team played on Saturday, when it won 27-14. The Hoosiers did all the important things a ' got big plays, won the turnover battle and converted 3rd downs a ' they couldn't do during a three-game losing streak.

Indiana head football coach Bill Lynch announced linebacker Matt Mayberry , safety Austin Thomas , quarterback Ben Chappell and wide receiver Mitchell Evans will serve as game captains when the Hoosiers travel to Northwestern on Saturday.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana's offense has the Wild Mitch and the Anything But Wild Ben.

The trend line was going in the wrong direction for the Indiana University football team.
