Cameron hired two new coordinators and switched a bunch of players to new positions. He wants results now. He was hired the same year as Joe Tiller, Ron Turner and Glen Mason. The first change was to hire Bell, whose Wake Forest defense last year held eight opponents to fewer than 20 points and ranked in the top three of every Atlantic Coast Conference statistic. Mandina said the beauty of Bell's one-gap system is its simplicity.
Players have fewer responsibilities and breakdowns are easily understood.
You buy into his system about 10 minutes after hearing him speak,'' Mandina said. A.C. Carter moved to cornerback from tailback, Joslin Goodman to middle linebacker from the weak side, Devin Schaffer to the strong side from the middle and Brandon Rodgers to the weak side from safety. Also, Cameron dismissed starting strong safety Greg Yeldell from the team last week for undisclosed reasons. Illinois and Minnesota got over the hump last year, and Indiana has beaten each of them at least once in the past two seasons. The Hoosiers haven't gotten the better of Purdue, but last year's six- point loss was respectable.
