Emery Simmons - Tops receiving corps in loss Simmons caught six of his 11 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 35-21 loss to Nebraska. Impact Simmons served as the top target for quarterback Connor Bazelak (22-of-44 passing, 223 yards, 1:1 TD:INT) with top receivers Cam Camper (illness) and D.J. Matthews (undisclosed) both sidelined in Week 5. The North Carolina transfer also registered career-highs in receptions and targets against the Cornhuskers' mediocre pass defense. Simmons currently sits as the Hoosiers' third-leading receiver this season (15 receptions, 29 targets, 149 yards) through the first five weeks of the season, and he could once again take a prominent role if Camper and Matthews remain out against Michigan's tough pass defense in Week 6.
