JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Quiet is great for libraries, not for football teams. Indiana head coach Tom Allen delivers that message with the subtlety of a hammer. Linebacker Micah McFadden is a frequent target.

For good reason.

As a sophomore, McFadden has emerged as the Hoosiers' leading tackler (56), a consistently versatile performer (9 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 1.5 sacks) at a position that demands it, and more.

Such as talking.

With IU (8-4) set to play Tennessee (7-5) in Thursday night's TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, a talkative McFadden is crucial to Hoosier success.
