The first availability report for IU football’s College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup against Alabama was released on Monday.
The top-ranked Hoosiers will kick off on Thursday at 4 p.m. ET against the Crimson Tide at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Indiana is currently a 7-point favorite.
While there were no surprises in terms of the players who are listed as out – Stephen Daley, Kellan Wyatt, Bryson Bonds and Lee Beebe Jr. – it appears the Hoosiers may get kicker Brendan Franke back.
The report lists Franke, who has not played since IU’s win against UCLA in October, as probable to play.
