Considering how thin the Hoos are at OLB, it is kind of amazing the depth they have at ILB. With All-ACC candidate Micah Kiser and 3 year starter Zach Bradshaw starting, that position is in good hands right now. In a 3-4 defense, the ILBs are the main guys tasked with stopping the run. Think Ray Lewis on the Baltimore Ravens in the later stages of his career.
