Tom Allen highlights improvements on O-line despite loss to Nebraska

Tom Allen has had some problems on the offensive line as of late. He spoke about how the group played against Nebraska in Week 5 per Indy Star’s Zach Osterman.

Indiana lost to Nebraska 35-21 to give Mickey Joseph his first win as interim HC. Bill Busch also got his first win at the Huskers’ interim DC.

Allen was pleased with how the offensive line played on Saturday, but noted that the unit needs to keep getting better. He also talked about some players who are going to get more reps moving forward.

Allen says he thinks IU’s offensive line was better at Nebraska than Cincinnati (it almost certainly was), but also says it still needs to keep improving. Says Josh Sales “is gonna be getting more reps,” and that every time Khalil Benson plays “he gets better and better.” #iufb

Josh Sales and Kahlil Benson are two players that Allen foresees getting more playing time. Allen noted that Benson just keeps getting better with the more he plays. Sales will be getting more reps in the future.

Indiana already has more wins than it did last season with all of the injuries that happened. The Hoosiers are 3-2 and will be taking on Michigan at noon ET on FOX this Saturday.
