Cross, a true freshman, has been a revelation for the Hoosiers, leading the team in rushing with 753 yards and eight touchdowns through nine games.

Rourke, a redshirt junior, has been equally impressive, leading the team in receiving with 61 catches for 802 yards and seven touchdowns.

He has six runs of 20 yards or more, including a 52-yard touchdown run against Rutgers.

Rourke’s Emergence As A Top Receiver

He has at least five receptions in every game this season, and has had at least 100 receiving yards in four games.

Rourke’s big-play ability has been a key part of Indiana’s success this season.

He has 10 receptions of 20 yards or more, including a 75-yard touchdown reception against Western Kentucky.
