The football gods aren't likely to deprive Indiana of its leading returning receiver on a first play of a season for the third straight fall.

Two years ago, it was Simmie Cobbs Jr. sustaining a season-ending knee injury on his first snap from scrimmage. Last fall, it was Westbrook sustaining a season-ending knee injury on the campaign's opening kickoff.
