Indiana Football's MT. RUSHMORE

Who are your top four?

In the next few days, the staff will reveal their picks as Indiana Football's Mt. Rushmore but for now, we'll show you the list of ten names that the Big Ten Network will be pulling from. Help us decide on the top 4 in the comments and debate those who are deserving and even those not on the list that you think should be.

There is a voting widget at the bottom of the page, where you can rank all ten players, so vote now!

NOTE: Perhaps it's recency bias, but I think Tevin Coleman deserves to be on this list. One of only eighteen players to rush for 2000 yards at the FBS level is a monumental accomplishment for a program like Indiana.
