ESPN.com: Damarlo Belcher is 'doing fine'

He could have shoved Iowa's football team out of the Big Ten title picture. But Damarlo Belcher didn't catch that 18-yard pass from Ben Chappell in the end zone on Indiana's last offensive play of the game last Saturday, and the Hawkeyes escaped with an 18-13 win.
Wrote ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg in this post on his Big Ten blog:
A catch Belcher makes 98 times out of 100 turned into a drop Indiana fans won't soon forget. ...
Belcher is "doing fine," Hoosiers coach Bill Lynch said Tuesday, and the team has rallied around him.
When team captains Tyler Replogle and Chappell convened the team's leadership council for its regular Monday meeting, they conducted their weekly vote for two game captains to serve in this week's contest at No. 7 Wisconsin.
"They unanimously voted Damarlo a game captain," Lynch said. "They're telling him they've got his back. And that's what makes a football team."
