Despite the Indiana football program not playing in a game this weekend, it was one of the biggest days in program history as the Hoosiers were announced as a participant in the 2019 TaxSlayor Gator Bowl against Tennessee. It was a nice way to cap off a regular season in which the Hoosiers ended a lot of streaks, and also made it a record-breaking year at that.
Off of the field of play, the Hoosiers also won the weekend on the recruiting trail. Tom Allen and the rest of the staff had been all over the country over the past two weeks trying to secure a few more commitments before national signing day’s early period starting on Dec 18.
