BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The past doesn't haunt Indiana football.

Not anymore.

Now it shows up to help celebrate past success and future victories.

As the No. 17 Hoosiers prepared for Saturday's season opener at No. 18 Iowa, a ghost from Cream & Crimson glory past emerged. Vaughn Dunbar, one of the greatest tailbacks in IU history, swung by last weekend.

He hadn't been to campus in years. His return reflects how head coach Tom Allen and Hoosier officials strive to sustain and grow the connection between players past and present.
