DIPRIMIO NOTEBOOK: Toughness Personifies Peyton Ramsey, Hoosiers

IUHoosiers.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – This Rocky quote comes courtesy of the play of Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey, who is to toughness what da Vinci was to artistic versatility.

"It ain't about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. It's about how much you can take and keep moving forward."

If you've seen Ramsey play lately, if you've witnessed the physical and emotional shots he's taken, and still perform at an elite level (he was just selected to the Davey O'Brien Award's Great 8 list and was a Manning Award Star of the Week after throwing for a career-high 351 passing yards, and totaling a career-best 393 yards in Saturday's win at Nebraska), you understand why he personifies the we-ain't-the-same Hoosiers attitude the entire team has demonstrated in its 6-2 start.
