Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. suffered a lower-body injury in the first quarter of their Big Ten Championship game against Ohio State on Sunday. Cooper, 21, who was the Hoosiers' leading receiver with 804 yards and 11 touchdowns, exited the game after attempting to catch a deep pass from quarterback Fernando Mendoza. The injury occurred when Cooper twisted his right knee and ankle while attempting to make the catch. After being evaluated by the medical staff, Cooper was seen limping heavily as he was escorted to the locker room. However, his potential return to the game brought relief to fans, particularly with quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who was counting on his star receiver. Cooper's return is a significant boost to the Hoosiers' offense, which had been working towards a historic undefeated regular season. Indiana completed a 12-0 regular season and a 9-0 Big Ten run, earning them the No. 2 seed in the championship game. With Cooper potentially back on the field, the Hoosiers are optimistic about their chances against top-ranked Ohio State.
