BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana coach Tom Allen knows the numbers and the situation, obviously.

But sometimes even he is still surprised by it.

"Sometimes I look out there and am just amazed by the number of young guys we have out there on defense," Allen said after Saturday's game at Ohio State. "They're growing and learning, and that's just part of it.

"We knew we were going to be young this year, but we're not backing down from anybody."

Indiana has already played 38 underclassmen this fall, tied for eighth-most nationally – 13 true freshmen, 12 redshirt-freshmen and 13 sophomores.
