For Raheem Layne, Why Not Make IU Football History?

IUHoosiers.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – History was there for the taking, and Raheem Layne took it.

Indiana's redshirt senior safety saw opportunity where some saw, well, nothing.

For the record, it's not nothing.

It's zero – as in the uniform number.

"I wanted to be the first person in IU program history to wear the number zero on the field," Layne says.

He'll likely get that honor, but not by much given true freshman quarterback Donaven McCulley also wears No. 0.

How big a deal is zero?
