Fairly dissapointing. I think that he could’ve really helped that rushing attack. Once he got going, watch out. Good change of pace back from our speed backs. But, we have depth there.
Just wonder if they gave him some consideration on the DL.. I could have seen him going to 290 and still be agile at the position.
Sad news. I liked that kid. Whole offensive line seemed to ratchet it up when he came in...and I didn't blame them...who'd want drilled in the back by that load? Reminds me of that other really big back we had that transferred then ended up playing for the Bengals. Can't remember his name right now.
You are right. I believe DiNardo didn't like his weight and he transferred to Western Kentucky, which was still a 1-AA school at the time, so he didn't have to sit out a year.
I would have to agree. In addition to the Penn State game where he decided to just run up the middle for four straight plays when we were two yards away from a game-winning touchdown, he also made a terrible decision at home against Kentucky. The Wildcats had run a play that DiNardo thought was going to be placed on the three yard line, so DiNardo turned down a penalty against Kentucky to force fourth down. Instead, the ball was placed inside the IU one yard line, and Jared Lorenzen had no problem just sneaking it in for the TD.
He also ran off quite a few players with his fitness test, so we only had 38 players by season's end. I can't remember which season that was.

A player that transferred and doesn’t get much mention is Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis.... transfers from IU after two years and is top 5 RB in the SEC for two straight years before going to the NFL ..... I think IU split time with him in the backfield.
That's funny you mention that UK game. I was at that game and nobody understood what Dinardo did there. I'm still not sure I know what he did, but it was GOOFY!
As I stated the other day, Indiana has made their road to football glory much harder with so many rotten coaching hires. Football is the one sport where you absolutely need good coaching. You can't just trot out one all star player, a la basketball, and have a good season.
