Marcelino Ball (Indiana, DB)
Despite the fact that Ball had 10 tackles in week one, he also had three costly penalties including a personal foul penalty that sent Coach Tom Allen crazy on the sidelines.
Not only were his penalties costly, he also missed multiple tackles on the third line of defense as well.
The All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2018 needs to be the leader of the secondary and step up his play this week, hoping the rest of the secondary follows suit.
Ball will likely be placed all over the field, especially with Johnathan Brantley on the field, who can utilize his feet like the best of them.
