The Quest for IU Football Glory: Bill Mallory


IUHoosiers.com

EDITOR'S NOTE: Bill Mallory, who delivered more victories (69) and bowl games (six) than any coach in Indiana University football history, has passed, but his impact never will. This is an excerpt from Pete DiPrimio's upcoming book on Indiana University football, "The Quest for IU Football Glory," set to be published by IU Press in the summer of 2019.

THE MALLORY YEARS

Bill Mallory jabs an index finger into the air the way a gladiator would a spear.

"It should have been seven bowls!"

He spits out the words like verbal bullets.
