What else is there to say about a player who led the country in pass breakups last year?

Indiana defensive back Tim Bennett is one of the best defensive players not only in the Big Ten, but in all of college football. Though he had just one interception, he broke up 20 passes and had 21 passes defended. He also finished first on the team with 61 solo tackles.

Heading into 2014, Bennett is working to increase those turnover numbers.

"That’s one thing he’s done this year, is try to do a better job of actually catching the ball," Hoosiers cornerbacks coach Brandon Shelby told Alex McCarthy of 247Sports. "With his senior leadership, he knows his time is running out, this is his last go-around, so hopefully he’s taking it all in and doing a good job and doing the little things that help us get to where we need to get to."

Bennett is crucial to Indiana's defense, which must improve after being one of the worst against the pass last season, if the Hoosiers are to get back to the postseason.
