Indiana players kept interrupting coach Tom Allen’s postgame interview to show their love for him

The No. 12 Indiana Hoosiers are having an incredible 2020 football season. They’re 6-1 with wins against then-ranked opponents Penn State, Michigan and, after Saturday’s game, No. 16 Wisconsin, and their only loss was to Ohio State — by a single touchdown.
They’re second in the Big Ten East standings — behind the Buckeyes — and still put together a 14-6 victory over the Badgers without starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who tore his ACL in last weekend’s win over Maryland and will miss the rest of the season.
And after beating Wisconsin — quarterback Jack Tuttle threw for two touchdowns — the Hoosiers were beyond pumped to continue winning, and they showered head coach Tom Allen with love and praise.
Delightfully, they kept interrupting Allen’s postgame interview with ESPN with their excitement and recruiting pitches, but mostly, they had nothing but great things to say about their coach. It’s simply wholesome.
As Allen said, “I just love this football team,” his players continued to give him hugs, repeatedly calling him “the best coach in the nation.”
Similarly, college football Twitter advocated for Allen to win — or at least be seriously considered for — the national Coach of the Year award. And when you look at what he’s done with Indiana this season, it’s hard to argue against that sentiment.
