#2. Cam Jones makes his presence known with at least one sack and two tackles for loss

Jones started off his final season in Bloomington with an outstanding game against the Illini, finishing with 12 total tackles, one sack, and one tackle for loss, then followed that up after getting banged up in Week 1 with seven total tackles against Idaho in Week 2. Leading Indiana football in total tackles (19), Jones has the fourth most total tackles in the Big Ten.

With Dasan McCullough stepping up in Week 2, Jones didn’t have to be all over the field for the Hoosiers, but Tom Allen’s defense will need their leader to show up and show out against the Hilltoppers offense that will be better than expected. Don’t be surprised if Jones finishes Week 3 with at least one sack and multiple tackles for loss.
