Indiana football coach Tom Allen is taking depth chart secrecy to a new level this week ahead of the team’s Week 1 matchup with Ohio State on Saturday.
When meeting with reporters Monday, Allen announced that the team has made a decision on its starting kicker for the game, but wouldn’t reveal it until kick-off Saturday against the Buckeyes. Hiding the choice at quarterback for a slight competitive advantage is one thing, but making Ohio State prepare for multiple kickers (as much as one can prepare for a kicker) is a new one.
The Hoosiers will need all the help they can get against the heavily-favored Buckeyes, but it’s hard to imagine the kicker decision swinging things in Indiana’s direction.
