Camper and Campbell got noticed in week 1 performances

Campbell came in at 10 and Camper at 4 in Saturday Tradition’s list of noted players (other than QB)

“[Camper] the 6-2, 202-pound junior made his presence felt immediately — and against a B1G opponent, no less.
…, hooking up for 156 yards on 11 receptions in a victory over Illinois. The performance wasn’t a surprise to IU coach Tom Allen, so Camper may well keep this up all season. It’ll be fun to track, at the least.”

”Campbell went 3-for-3 on field goals in the Hoosiers’ 23-20 rally past Illinois. And none of them was a chip shots. He hit twice from 43 yards and the other was from 39.”

Campbell’s 11 pts were also noticed by the Lou Groza award committee

Both players had good games along with a number of Hoosiers. With needing to clean up a few things on defense and having the offense expand IU is in good shape to be much better this year.

I was and still am proponent of Kevin Wilson toughness and the offensive brand he brought to IUFB. But an aspect of the game I thought he handled weakly was punters/kickers. Allen on the other hand makes them an addition to the offense and defense. Campbell was 1 away from scoring half IU's points against a conference competitor. There is a lesson there and Coach Allen is the professor.

IDS picked up the story too. Camper got another mention

“Camper was also named an Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Honorable Mention, according to a tweet by Indiana football. The award honors players each week in lead up to the conclusion of the season when it is given to the nation’s best offensive player.”

Good for both those players and I hope more honors come in the weeks to come.
