Stats that defined 2016: Indiana Hoosiers

The 2016 season is officially over, but the Big Ten blog is taking one last look back at the numbers that defined each conference program. Some teams underperformed, while others surprised by making drastic improvements in key areas.

We're examining three stats that defined the 2016 season for each Big Ten team. Next is Indiana, which finished 6-7 and made its second straight postseason game with a loss to Utah in the Foster Farms Bowl.

129.1: That's the difference in yards per game allowed by Indiana in 2016 compared to 2015. The Hoosiers posted the biggest one-year improvement in yards allowed by any team in the FBS during the regular season.
