Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld could barely sleep last week.
He knew what was on the line -- the Hoosiers’ first bowl appearance in seven years -- so he was more nervous than usual. Maybe the most nervous he’s been in his career. He tossed and turned at night, envisioning different scenarios for his 5-6 team, and saying out loud every so often, “We got to win this, we got to win this.”
Even his roommate and friend, defensive end Nick Mangieri, admitted he was nervous for his quarterback. But Sudfeld did just fine.
