Ramsey, Penix battling in IU arms race

At some point prior to the Sept. 1 season opener at Florida International, Indiana coach Tom Allen will have a decision to make.

Does he start Peyton Ramsey, who gained experience as IU’s starting quarterback for parts of last season?

Does he start Michael Penix, a true freshman southpaw who enrolled at Indiana in January with hopes of getting a leg up in the quarterback competition?

Or does he start someone else entirely?

Monitoring the quarterback situation will be one of Indiana’s most pressing objectives this spring.

For Indiana offensive coordinator Mike DeBord, the good news is that Ramsey and Penix have both looked capable as the Hoosiers have moved through the first week of spring practice.
