BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Whop Philyor is willing to take the road less traveled, and not just because he gave up Tampa, Fla., warmth for Indiana, well, unpredictability.
He's Indiana's junior receiver on the rise, a break-through guy in a Cream & Crimson revival season that suggests all sorts of possibilities – for the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl meeting with the Southeastern Conference's Tennessee Volunteers, for perhaps a decade of seasons to come.
But that's not the point in this post-practice moment at Indiana's Mellencamp Pavilion. It's where the Hoosiers are preparing to put an exclamation point to the season and where Philyor considers the stakes.
