Key Takeaways, Missed Field Goals Help Defense in IU's Upset Win over No. 8 Penn State

Key Takeaways, Missed Field Goals Help Defense in IU's Upset Win over No. 8 Penn State

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The Indiana Hoosiers scored their most impressive victory since 1987 with their thrilling 36-35 overtime victory over the eighth ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. The Hoosiers defense bent, but didn’t break early and it wasn’t until the Nittany Lions scored 14 points in 48 seconds did the defense bust. However, three takeaways, three missed Nittany Lion field goals and a fourth down stop was enough to keep the Hoosiers in the game.

Written by Amanda Pavelka (@amandapavelka3)

In a season of strange circumstances, the Indiana Hoosiers will enter a Memorial Stadium with empty stands on Saturday to face off the No. 8 football team in the nation, the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Hoosiers have a legitimate chance to beat Penn State for what would be the second time in the history of the program, but only if they follow these keys on defense.

Matchup to Watch Week One: Indiana's Offensive Line vs. Penn State's Defensive Front Seven

Matchup to Watch Week One: Indiana's Offensive Line vs. Penn State's Defensive Front Seven

Written by Andrew Walker

The Hoosiers are finally back on the field after a hiatus that seemed like years. This season, things are looking up for Indiana. Their promising young starting QB Mike Penix is back under center, along with most of the offensive line, star running back Stevie Scott, and many others that bring experience and power to the Hoosiers. Their first game back is against the gauntlet that is Penn State. The Nittany Lions come into this season off of an impressive 11-2 season that saw them in the top ten for the majority of the season. This season is not any different, at least in terms of Penn State’s prowess. The eighth ranked Nittany Lions will travel to Bloomington this weekend for what’s sure to be a prove-it game for both teams. Can Penn State retain their offensive and defensive firepower? And can the Hoosiers improve on their record setting 2019 season? This game should be a good glimpse into how both teams will do.
