Always an area of strength under Kevin Wilson, the Hoosiers might have one of their strongest receiving cores in Wilson’s tenure.
One year ago, there were numerous questions being asked of the Hoosier receiving core. Injuries and graduation had left Simmie Cobbs, who caught 7 passes for 114 yards in 2014, as the top returning receiver.
This fall, the Hoosiers have nothing to be concerned about.
Cobbs stepped up with 60 catches for 1,035 yards while Ricky Jones caught 54 passes for 906 yards. In the slot, Mitchell Paige became both a security blanket and a folk hero amongst Hoosier faithful by catching 57 passes for 684 yards and a team-best six touchdowns.
