The Hoosiers are looking for more interceptions out of their secondary; the defense as a whole had just seven picks last season, three by the graduated Greg Heban.
Tim Bennett led the nation with 20 pass breakups in 2013; he returns at corner with Michael Hunter. Antonio Allen and Mark Murphy are the starting safeties.
Key to success: Catch some of those passes.
