Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. Ready for Rose Bowl After Sustaining Leg Injury in Big Ten Championship
Omar Cooper Jr. recovered from a right leg injury sustained Dec. 6 and is expected to impact Indiana’s College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Alabama.
- Ready for the Rose Bowl quarterfinal on Thursday, Omar Cooper Jr. recovered from a Dec. 6 right-leg injury and said `I feel a lot better this week` after a month of rest.
- Earlier this season, Cooper's toe-tapping score with 36 seconds left gave Indiana its first win in Happy Valley and kept its undefeated regular-season hopes alive.
- Coach Curt Cignetti also noticed the play's local buzz, with Cooper's reception photo displayed in a Bloomington, Indiana bar and the Big Ten championship hotel, while Elijah Sarratt said about 1% of the world can do what Cooper did.
- With Cooper back, Indiana's chances improve as Sarratt called his return `super important`, helping Indiana challenge Alabama’s pass defense, which ranks 10th in the FBS.
- Even if the season ends in Pasadena, California, Omar Cooper Jr. is assured of his place in Hoosiers' lore and is still `scratching the surface` of his potential.
