Trent Howland - Logs rushing score in shootoutHowland totaled 13 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-45 overtime loss versus Illinois.

ImpactHowland paced the Hoosiers' rushing attack for the first time this season. The 6-foot-3 redshirt junior logged season highs in both rushing attempts and yards while also notching his first touchdown of the season. Howland started the season in an extremely limited role, but he's seen increasing usage over the last four games. Indiana's recent change at offensive coordinator has clearly improved this unit's efficiency this season, and it may lead to a bigger role for Howland down the stretch of the season as a result. It will be worth monitoring his workload compared to Josh Henderson and Jaylin Lucas during Indiana's penultimate game versus Michigan State next week.

Donaven McCulley - Eats up 13 targetsMcCulley caught 11 of 13 targets for 137 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-45 overtime defeat to Illinois.

ImpactMcCulley paced a prolific passing offense for the Hoosiers, as quarterback Brendan Sorsby went 22-for-33 passing for 289 yards and three touchdowns to one interception. The 6-foot-5 junior had more put on his shoulders due to the absence of fellow starting wideout Omar Cooper (undisclosed) while Cam Camper (knee) also missed his first game since being ruled out for the remainder of the season. As a result, McCulley logged season highs in targets and receptions en route to his first 100-yard receiving performance of the season. McCulley has now caught four touchdowns over the past three weeks, tallying 20 receptions on 27 targets for 300 yards over this span. He'll look to keep up this solid production versus Michigan State in Week 12.

Brendan Sorsby - Lights it up in surprise shootoutSorsby was 22-for-33 passing for 289 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 48-45 overtime loss against Illinois. He also had 17 rushes for 53 yards with tw...

ImpactSorsby logged his third straight solid outing as a passer, as he's now completed at least 60 percent of his passes in each of these contests. The redshirt freshman had to play without two of his top three wideouts, as Omar Cooper (undisclosed) didn't suit up while Cam Camper (knee) missed his first game since officially be ruled out for the rest of the season. This didn't stop Sorsby from lofting three passing touchdowns for the second time in three weeks, and he has now logged seven passing touchdowns to two interceptions over this span. the 6-foot-3 Texas native also logged his best rushing performance of the season, notching career highs in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns. Next week's matchup against a reeling Michigan State squad should give Sorsby a chance to log another solid performance before the regular-season finale against in-state rival Purdue.

Pat Bryant - Hurt vs. IndianaBryant had a huge day vs. Indiana, tallying five receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown, before suffering an injury late in the contest, Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.com reports.

ImpactBryant set a season-high in receiving yards Saturday while scoring his sixth touchdown of the campaign, though a late injury put a damper on an otherwise stellar day. Overall, Bryant has 36 grabs for 520 yards this season. Casey Washington would likely step up as Illinois' number-two receiving option behind Isaiah Williams if Bryant can't suit up next week vs. Iowa.
