Thanks to eight-catch, 162-yard first half, Indiana WR Whop Philyor reaches career milestone
In the first half of the Indiana-Rutgers game on Saturday, Hoosiers wide receiver Whop Philyor had himself quite the afternoon.
He recorded eight catches for 162 yards in the first 30 minutes alone. With those 162 yards in mind, Philyor became the 46th Hoosier to ever account for at least 1,000 receiving yards:

Philyor has been a play-maker during his three seasons so far at Indiana and as long as he returns for his senior season in 2020, more milestones could certainly be reached.
At the half, Indiana led Rutgers 21-0 in part thanks to Philyor and currently leads 28-0 in the third quarter. Indiana-Rutgers can be seen on BTN.
