Since 2005, Indiana has started 11, 12, 8, 9, 9, 11, 10, 10, 14, and 9 white players. The Hoosiers defeated Purdue in the final game of last year's season to avoid the worst record in the Big Ten, finishing at 4-8 overall with a surprise win at SEC runners-up Missouri. They are not a very good team, but have a history of using white players at most positions. This year they will probably start 9 or 10, depending on the slot position.
On offense, Nate Sudfeld will look to stay healthy as one of the only four-year starting quarterbacks in school history. Fellow senior Jason Spriggs is one of the strongest athletes in the conference and will get drafted to protect the blind side. Indiana plays a spread, so redshirt junior Mitchell Paige should catch some balls over the middle and could possibly return punts. He's in a positional battle thanks to another player's injury. The Hoosiers tight ends don't catch a lot of passes, but it is a thoroughly white position group.
LT: Jason Spriggs
C: Jake Reed
RG: Dan Feeney
Slot: Mitchell Paige (?)
QB: Nate Sudfeld
TE: Anthony Corsaro
On defense, the exciting development is that walk-on Ben Bach has supplanted an otherwise-superior cornerback and projects to start. Bach will line up alongside fellow redshirt sophomore Chase Dutra and give the Hoosiers a pair of white DB's for possibly the next three seasons. Mangieri is a key returning starter, and Zach Shaw also seems to have won a starting spot as a senior. Nate Hoff and Shawn Heffern should see snaps on the defensive line rotation. The team's leading tackler last season was dismissed for felony drug dealing; he was not white.
DE: Nick Mangieri
BANDIT: Zach Shaw
LCB: Ben Bach
SS: Chase Dutra
