The story for Indiana should have been one of achievement, as the Hoosiers made back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 1990-91.
Instead, the story is much different and still full of questions. The school stunningly fired coach Kevin Wilson less than a week after the team secured its sixth victory amid allegations of player mistreatment. The Foster Farms Bowl will mark the debut of new coach Tom Allen, who was elevated to the permanent job after serving one year as defensive coordinator.
