Craig Osika was a steady, high-IQ anchor for Indiana’s offensive line
In the 2001 season, Indiana described Craig Osika as a senior center on an offensive line ranked among the nation’s best, and The Sporting News listed him as the 15th-ranked center in the country[5]. He brought versatility too, having moved from tight end to center and helping power an Indiana front that led the Big Ten in rushing in 2000 while allowing only nine sacks in 11 games[4][5]. For a team needing toughness, intelligence, and line flexibility, Osika looked like a plug-and-play trench piece who made everyone around him better[4][5].
