Wide Receiver David Bell

Earlier in the year, David Bell had a vicious hit against Notre Dame and many were not sure if he would be playing for a while.

Thankfully he did not miss much time and was able to return October 2nd against Minnesota and had a good day with 120 receiving yards.

David Bell did not have a good day against Iowa. He had a phenomenal game against Iowa with 11 receptions for a whopping 240 receiving yards and one touchdown. This is a new career-high for Bell in his career with 240 yards in a game.

It seemed like there were multiple David Bell’s on the field for the Boilermakers on Saturday against Iowa. Some Iowa defenders may have nightmares of David Bell for a while from what he did to them on the field.
