BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Could Indiana's running back group rock the Big Ten?

The potential is there.

There's Stevie Scott, who had the greatest freshman running back performance in school history by rushing for 1,137 yards -- including six 100-yard games -- and 10 touchdowns.

Not even All-America Anthony Thompson did that. Injuries cost him several games and he totaled 806 yards and five touchdowns his first season.

There's another freshman, Ronnie Walker Jr., who rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns in a limited role.

Then comes a pair of freshman standouts in Avon's Sampson James, a four-star prospect who rushed for 3,451 yards and 38 touchdowns as a senior, and Missouri's Ivory Winters, who rushed for 59 touchdowns and 2,700 yards while leading Hayti High School to a 15-0 record and a 1A state title.
