This year, the Hoosiers travel to Florida and they will take on the Golden Panthers in the Miami heat for the season opener, the same place they began their season two years ago. They have been preparing for this game all summer with scheduled afternoon run sessions in order to prepare their bodies for the heat and humidity they will face this Saturday. They have transformed themselves completely over the last few months and open their season faster, more conditioned, and stronger than ever.

Historically, wide receiver has been a position the Big Ten has struggled to produce first-round NFL talent; the Big Ten has only had two receivers taken in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2007, including this past year when Maryland’s DJ Moore was selected 24th overall to the Carolina Panthers. Nonetheless, this is how we see the talent stacking up for the 2018 season.
