Howard helps Indiana in 38-35 win over W. Kentucky

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Jordan Howard has quickly helped Indiana fans forget about Tevin Coleman. The junior tailback transfer from UAB, who came into the game as the Big Ten's leading rusher, ran for 203 yards Saturday to lead Indiana to a 38-35 victory over Western Kentucky before a crowd of 44,823 at Memorial Stadium. When Coleman departed after last season for the NFL, Indiana fans were worried they would miss his production. Coleman was the nation's second-leading rusher with 2,036 yards last year. But Howard has simply picked up where Coleman left off. The 6-1, 230-pound power rusher has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of IU's first three games and is a runner who appears to get stronger as the game wears on. Saturday, he ran for 155 yards in the second half including 82 in the fourth quarter. "I feel like as the game goes on I get stronger," Howard said.
