BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Nick Sheridan flashes a hint of a smile. The game is on, started 24 hours earlier by Mike Hart.
Sheridan is Indiana's offensive coordinator. Hart is the running backs coach.
Beyond that, they are long-time friends, former college teammates, fiercely competitive, committed to a second-straight Hoosier winning season, and more.
Hart pushes the run, which is no surprise. He was a superstar tailback at Michigan (Sheridan was a back-up quarterback) who has emerged as a top running backs coach.
So when he has the chance to deliver good-natured run-the-ball prodding, he takes Zoom press conference advantage.
