BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Could the Indiana Hoosiers have one of the Big Ten's best defense next season?

Yes.

Will they?

In so many ways, it's up to them.

IU has more returning defensive production than any Big Ten team according to ESPN's Bill Connelly, which leads to the obvious question?

Who's Bill Connelly?

For one thing, he's one of the nation's top college football experts.

For another, he's really into numbers, and they are very Hoosier friendly.

Connelly has devised something called returning production percentage, which sounds a lot like math, mostly because it is math, which can rival a Westworld plot for complexity.
