VIDEO: Indiana offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer talks about calling plays for 2 QBs
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer met with the media on Monday and had a lot to say about how his offense has been performing. And he's had to do that with two quarterbacks splitting time.
Redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr. won the starting job in fall camp, but he's been injured twice now and junior Peyton Ramsey, the former two-year starter, has had to come in to lead the offense.
DeBoer said he doesn't have separate sheets for Ramsey in his playbook, but he knows what Ramsey likes and what he's good at. He talks about that in the first part of the video. (TIME: 1:40 TOTAL)
In the second part of the video, he talks about how neither quarterback has gotten enough reps in his offense. DeBoer is in his first year as Indiana's offensive coordinator.
Indiana is 5-2 on the season and 2-2 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers have won consective conference games and seek their third straight win on Saturday at Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers are 4-3 and are coming off a bye week. They are also 2-2 in the Big Ten, with wins over Illinois and Northwestern and losses to two of the league's unbeaten teams, Ohio State and Minnesota. Neither of those losses were close, losing 48-7 to the Buckeyes and 34-7 to the Gophers two weeks ago before their bye week.
Nebraska is coached by Scott Frost, who is in his second year in Lincoln.
The game is at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
