1975 OUTLOOK
A strong and productive spring practice
indicated Indiana can make a significant
advance in 1975. There is more talent, more
depth and more experience.
Offensively the Hoosiers can move the
ball. Junior Courtney Snyder was No. 3
Big Ten rusher as a sophomore and broke
Indiana's one-season record with 1,265 yards,
winning All-Big Ten selection. Junior Terry
Jones led the Big Ten in passing as a
sophomore, hitting on .572 of his tosses,
throwing for a league-leading nine TDs and
suffering only four interceptions in 145
attempts. Receiver-wise, 6-5 Trent Smock
and flanker Keith Calvin, the latter playing
as a freshman, ranked fourth in the Big Ten.
Obviously defense is the Indiana probelm
and that appears strengthened. Huge Greg

McGuire has moved from offense to defense
and is an All-American candidate there.
Linebacker Donnie Thomas, another All-
American prospect, heads up a strong and
deep corps, so improved that coach Lee
Corso is dropping his 5-3 defense to return
to his favored 4-4 this fall.
The Hoosiers appear to be in a position
where improvement could bring dramatic
changes in the record. Although 1-10 last
year they came so close so many times it
fosters the thought that many can be turned
around—such as a 24-22 loss to Northwestern,
28-22 to Kentucky, 35-25 to Wisconsin,
plus great efforts against some excellent
teams. They carried Michigan into the
final quarter before losing, 21-7 and extended
Michigan State in a 19-10 affair.
