Indiana expects to have one of the most important pieces of its offensive line in place when it takes the field against Michigan on Saturday.
IU coach Tom Allen said Thursday that he believes sophomore right tackle Matthew Bedford will be in the lineup after prematurely leaving last week’s game at Rutgers. Bedford dealt with an unspecified injury during the second half of Saturday’s contest, waving himself off the field.
“He has been with us all week,” Allen said. “He is fine.”
That’s good news for the Hoosiers, who were also heartened to see that Bedford’s replacement, Luke Haggard, filled in capably when called upon.
