BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Coy Cronk huddles with his brothers, these big, strong Hoosier linemen who have paved the way for Indiana's make-a-bowl success.
It burns him that he can't join them.
Except he can.
Offensive line coach Darren Hiller shouts instructions in this sideline gathering, coaching hard even as the clock ticks down in a blow-out win over Northwestern.
Cronk sits behind him, poised for suggestions, insight, encouragement.
He is a coach, but not a coach; a player who can't play; an unwanted spectator to Indiana achievement, but very much a key contributor.
