BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Why not me, Shaun Shivers asks.

The veteran running back is a confident guy, a physical guy, a guy who can outrun or power past defenders despite size that doesn't wow.

"I am comfortable I can do the things they said I couldn't because I know I've overcome adversity all my life," he says with a tone sharpened from years of being underestimated.

"I've been an underdog all my life."

Shivers, once a four-star high school prospect coming out of talent-rich Florida, didn't transfer from Auburn to Indiana for a final season to spend time on the sidelines or in a limited role.
