Michael Pitts+FollowRose Bowl: Indiana faces Alabama’s 5-star wallAlabama’s starting lineup for the Rose Bowl is stacked with nine former 5-star recruits—while Indiana has none. That’s a huge talent gap, especially since the Hoosiers have never signed a 5-star player straight out of high school. Alabama’s roster is loaded with top-100 recruits, and even their Heisman-winning QB was once ranked over 2,100 spots below Alabama’s starter. It’s wild to see just how different the recruiting worlds are for these two teams. Does this kind of star power really decide the game, or can Indiana’s underdog spirit pull off a shocker? #Sports #Football #RoseBowl00Share
