Lewis will have to compete for QB job
Indiana football coach Bill Lynch says quarterback Kellen Lewis will have to beat out backup Ben Chappell to regain his starting job this fall.
Lewis passed for more than 3,000 yards and rushed for a team-high 736 yards last season, leading the Hoosiers to their first postseason bowl appearance since 1993. But he was suspended for undisclosed reasons and missed spring practice, giving the job for the time being to Chappell.
At the annual Big Ten football media program in Chicago on Thursday, Lynch said Chappell is a strong thrower but doesn't have the same ability to make plays with his feet as Lewis does.
He said that means the two quarterbacks will have to compete for the job when they get to camp.
