Graham Notebook: Not a Passing Fancy

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Gandolph the Grey, when confronted by a rather inflamed Balrog in "The Lord of the Rings," intones:

"You shall not pass!"

The fictional wizard, while clearly not deferential to demons of the underworld, might take a liking to this current Indiana football defense.

IU allowed Michigan just 58 yards passing during Saturday's 27-20 overtime loss to the Wolverines, having allowed Charleston Southern zero in a 27-0 victory the week before.

That was the first time the Hoosiers had permitted foes fewer than 100 yards passing in back-to-back games since 1989.
