Indiana Football: A Deeper Look At The Offense In Win Over Western Kentucky

When you look at the final score in Indiana's win over Western Kentucky , it's obviously pretty impressive. Beating a team 38-0 is as close to a perfect outcome as a team can achieve. However, nothing is ever perfect in football, so it's always fun to take a deeper look at how the game played out. Indiana is 3-0, and has dominated through three weeks, and the film is showing that.

Using a tool like Pro Football Focus allows us to see what happened on a player-by-player basis and gives some insight as to how the game really went. It's not gospel, but there are some things that just don't show up in the box score that can tell another part of the story.

Once again, Becker was virtually unguardable and found the end zone. Each week, he's racking up a lot of yards and scoring a lot of touchdowns. He did only find the end zone once this week, but it was from 79 yards out. When the clock ran out, he had caught five passes for 127 yards and that long touchdown. It's not a surprise that he graded out best on pass plays with a day like that. He wasn't awesome as a run blocker, but he was good enough for the No. 1 spot this week.

It's also not a surprise that Hoover is near the top of this list. He's been incredibly efficient every single week. Against WKU, he was 18-of-24 for 273 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't throw quite as many touchdowns this week, but he was still on fire. Life after Fernando Mendoza has been pretty good after all.

As good as Becker was, Marsh was right there with his running mate. In fact, you could make an argument that Marsh was Hoover's favorite target against WKU. The sophomore reeled in seven receptions for 81 yards. He didn't score, but he was reliable for Hoover all day long. He was also better than Becker was as a run blocker on the day, which helped both Lee Beebe Jr. and Turbo Richard rush for 199 yards and three touchdowns combined.

Marsh actually paced the wide receiver group with 47 snaps played. Becker was second with 44, while Shazz Preston was third with 37 snaps, 11 more than Tyler Morris , who had been a pretty big part of the offense through two weeks.
