BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Indiana Hoosiers want to make this Terry Hoeppner's dream season.

After the inspirational poems, the motivational pep talks, the memorable phrases and the credo Hoeppner instilled, the Hoosiers intend to carry out his legacy and preserve his message — and not quit on his quest for a bowl game.

"Our job is ensuring that Coach Hep's dream comes true for the program," fullback Josiah Sears said. "We want to carry on his dreams, which included bowl games, and at the top of his list, for sure, was the Rose Bowl."
