BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Attack the quarterback.
Do that and you give yourself a chance.
Pressure the quarterback and you boost that chance.
Sack him or force him into mistakes and defensive life is good.
Do that without blitzing, or with limited blitzing, and you have the kind of elite defense Indiana head coach Tom Allen wants.
The Hoosiers took another big step in that direction Wednesday by signing defensive end Jalen Mayala out of Georgia. He was rated as the nation's No. 45 weak-side defensive end by 247Sports.
