Offense finally comes to life in Indiana's football victory over South Carolina State

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University football opponents are paying special attention to Damarlo Belcher, and with good reason: The senior from Fort Wayne, Ind., is the Big Ten's active leader in receptions and yardage.

But as South Carolina State and an announced (but early departing) crowd of 41,203 learned Saturday, Belcher isn't the lone Hoosier with good hands.

Duwyce Wilson caught six passes for 101 yards to lead nine IU players with at least one reception as a trio of quarterbacks completed 24 of 32 passes for 288 yards total. Add in 279 net yards rushing and the Hoosiers put together the type of offense that first-year coach Kevin Wilson had promoted throughout the preseason and in a pair of opening losses.
