The leading WR for the Hoosiers is WR Peyton Hendershot, with 5 receptions for 74 yards.
The Hoosiers have not gotten off to the start they wanted to this season as they fell out of the preseason rankings after a Week 1 blowout loss at Iowa 34-6; they also lost to No.8 Cincinnati last week to start the season 1-2.
Next week the Hoosiers go on the road to take on No.6 Penn State at 7:30 ET on ABC.
