Tom Allen has fielded the question all offseason. On the eve of Indiana’s fall camp this week, the fifth-year head coach heard it again.
Where is quarterback Michael Penix in his recovery from season-ending knee surgery last fall?
Standing at the front of IU’s team room during the program’s local media day Thursday, Allen knew the question was coming — “Yes,” Allen says with a smile, “I’ve been asked that many times, for sure.” — and he appreciates the intrigue. The good news, for Allen and his program, is that the answer is a positive one.
