Covington Takes Next Step for IU's Defense

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Chris Covington insists he won't do it. Indiana's senior linebacker might have some practice fun by throwing a football with the quarterbacks, but to suggest getting a game quarterback moment, to be part of a trick-play offensive concept designed to get defenses into what-the-heck-is-up mode, well, he's not willing to go that far.

"I haven't done that," he says about pitching coaches for one more Cream 'n Crimson passing shot.

Covington was once a quarterback, first at the high school level, then for a season at Indiana, good enough to throw for 31 yards, pass for 91 more in five games as Nate Sudfeld's backup.
