Two players charged down the field, colliding.
Idle no longer, those on the sideline launched into the air as they cheered on their fellow teammates.
Despite the ostensible winner and loser of the game simulation drill, three things remained constant among every player and coach at Spaulding Field on Saturday morning: smiles, laughter and dancing to the blaring music.

Dec. 5, 2024 6:17 p.m.Reports: UCLA football to hire Tino Sunseri as new offensive coordinator
Coach DeShaun Foster’s first season in Westwood sparked a range of reactions nationwide. A 5-7, bowl-less campaign left opinions split.

A source confirmed the departure to the IndyStar on Thursday afternoon, though no move can be made official until Indiana’s 2024 season concludes.
