BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indianas starting quarterback, Richard Lagow, is emerging as one of the Big Tens top pocket passers.His backup, Zander Diamont, is a more dynamic runner.After watching Diamont provide a second-half spark in Saturdays loss to Nebraska, coach Kevin Wilson wants the best of both worlds.Hes actually been our scout team quarterback the last two weeks, Wilson said, referring to Diamont. He was Tommy Armstrong, he was J.T. Barrett, so hes getting 80, 90 percent of his reps going against the first defense. That being said, some of that carries over to what were doing.It showed up on the field Saturday when the California kid ran eight times for 31 yards while completing 5 of 7 passes for 49 yards.Lagows has not done anything terribly wrong.After six FBS starts, the junior college transfer has the second-highest yards per game (276.0) in the Big Ten, the second-most touchdown passes (12), the fourth-highest passer efficiency rating (145.8) and a respectable completion percentage of 59.9. The only glaring glitch: Nine interceptions, five of which came in one game and two that went off the hands of receivers. Wilsons only real public criticism of Lagow came after he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty late in a loss to Wake Forest.Besides, the Hoosiers (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) are playing solid football. Theyve already upset one ranked team and seriously challenged two top 10 teams over the past three weeks , leaving them three wins short of a second straight bowl bid -- something that last happened in 1990 and 1991.After visiting Northwestern (3-3, 2-1) this weekend, Indianas more manageable second half of the schedule still includes home games against Maryland, Penn State and Purdue, and a road trip to Rutgers.Using Diamont as a complement to Lagow makes the Hoosiers tougher to defend, gets another good player on the field and it worked in its first trial run.He (Diamont) is a big spark, receiver Mitchell Paige said after catching nine passes for 101 yards in the 27-22 loss to the Huskers. We kind of knew that was coming, but he always does -- hes a little spark plug.Diamont also has developed into something more than a runner.Two years ago, when the true freshman was pressed into the starters role because of injuries, he threw 132 passes in six starts. In limited work Saturday, Diamont used designed rollouts and zone reads to effectively keep Nebraskas defense off-balance.That combination is forcing Wilson to consider all his options, making defensive coordinators around the league cringe at the thought of having to prepare for both Indiana quarterbacks.We werent playing wildcat. He (Diamont) is just a quarterback that can run a little bit more, Wilson said. I just appreciate in this day and age you see quarterbacks check out, its all about me getting the ball, receivers getting touches, running backs getting carries. I appreciate the way that hes battled.Game notesWilson said All-American guard Dan Feeney (concussion) is doing more each day, though he would not say whether hell be back on the field this week. Feeney has missed three consecutive games. ...

Nike Air Humara Sale .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win.Gold Coast coach Rodney Eade concedes Dion Prestia is likely to leave the AFL club at the end of the season and that fellow off-contract midfielder Jaeger OMeara is torn over his future.The Suns are yet to receive definitive word of either players intentions but Eade said Prestia had indicated a desire to return to Victoria, where his family is based.Prestia has been restricted to just 14 games this year due to injury and has been strongly linked to Richmond, which is reportedly his preferred destination.All the noise is that looks like its going to happen, Eade told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday.But if that happens, thats fine, well just drive a hard bargain to be able to get compensation for him.Weve spoken to him, hes sort of indicated familys a strong point - I suppose like (Patrick) Dangerfield when he went back to Geelong, thats a strong driver for him.Eade said the Suns were reasonably confident of retaining OMeara, but said: I think hes torn a little bit himself.OMeaara, 22, hasnt played an AFL game since late 2014 because of a string of serious knee injuries.ddddddddddddIf he does choose to leave, Eade reckons the Suns would demand two top-10 draft picks in exchange.I think our offer will reflect that we think we need to be compensated for him, he said.Hes a year younger than (Adam) Treloar, hes as good a player, his leadership... we think he would be worth two first-round picks in the top 10.Gold Coasts other long-term injured midfield star, David Swallow, could make his AFL return in next weeks final round.Swallow, who is also battling knee issues, played just over half a game for the Suns team in the NEAFL last weekend - his first run since the middle of the year.Swallow will play reserves football again this week but could feature in Gold Coasts season closer against Port Adelaide if he pulls up well enough.
