The shock may have worn off by now at Indiana. But if somehow it hasn’t, the Hoosiers have a full spring ahead of them to solidify that Tom Allen is firmly in charge. And they're hopeful he takes them the next level in the Big Ten.

But that was four months ago, with a bowl game and winter conditioning in between.
