BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Good won't make it. Not for Deland McCullough. His return to college from a Super Bowl-winning coaching run resonates with do-what-others-say-can't-be-done motivation.

"I am trying to get the guys to not only be the best versions of themselves," he says via Zoom media session, "but to help us become Big Ten champions."

After a four-year absence, McCullough is back at Indiana's as associate head coach and running backs coach. What he lacks in big-time running back production (no Hoosier has rushed for more than 118 yards in a game, or 275 yards in a season) he makes up for in player potential.
