Ohio transfers Kurtis Rourke and Miles Cross made one of the top quarterback-receiver duos in the Mid-American Conference, and they made a SportsCenter Top 10 Play in their Indiana debuts against Florida International.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Quarterback Kurtis Rourke was grateful to see a familiar face on Saturday in his Indiana debut.
The 30-yard completion from Rourke to Cross gave Indiana a first down and set up a two-yard touchdown run six plays later from Ty Son Lawton, his second of the game, to give the Hoosiers an early 21-0 lead. “He’s got great hands, one of the best hands that I’ve been around,” Rourke said of Cross. “Obviously I played with him at Ohio in his first three years, and he’s one of the most secure hands that I’ve met and played with. So I can’t say I was expecting that last Saturday, but I’m not surprised because he’s got good hands.”
Rourke pointed out some missed opportunities, avoidable penalties and consistency as things to improve upon after game one. He considers himself a calm player and tries not to get too high or too low based on results. Tight end Zach Horton, who caught Indiana’s first touchdown against FIU, felt that.
