For example, the Hoosiers allowed their opponents to complete just 55.6 percent of their passes, the third-best mark in the Big Ten. There are also some less flattering volume stats. For example, the Hoosiers allowed 2,778 yards through the air, the fourth-most in the conference, and 7.1 yards per attempt, the fifth-highest average in the conference.
