Devine Redding next Indiana RB in line for breakout season

When Indiana running back Devine Redding is asked about his individual goals for his junior season, he lists two objectives that have nothing to do with yards or touchdowns: play hard every play and always keep a smile on his face.

"Because anything can happen," he said.

Redding's first two seasons with the Hoosiers have taught him that. After he arrived as a freshman, he watched teammate Tevin Coleman rush for 2,036 yards, earn consensus All-American honors and finish seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting.

As soon as Coleman left a year early for the NFL draft, Jordan Howard transferred in from UAB and was immediately eligible to play after the Blazers disbanded their football program.
