Position primer: Offensive line stocked again for IU

Related Topics: lineman, Jason Spriggs, Dan Feeney

BLOOMINGTON – The Dan Feeney Era is over.

That’s probably the prevailing narrative attached to Indiana’s offensive line, which has now totally turned over in the last two years. Feeney and fellow All-American Jason Spriggs are both in the NFL, and a generation of linemen that also included Jake Reed, Collin Rahrig, Dimitric Camiel, Jacob Bailey and Wes Rogers is part of the past.

On paper, replacing that group will be difficult, understandable given that it blocked for what was genuinely one of the best single-season offenses in IU history.

• RB PRIMER: IU backfield packed with mystery, potential

• QB PRIMER: If Richard Lagow takes next step, so will IU

But there’s actually a lot to like about Indiana’s offensive line group, under new position coach Darren Hiller.
