Game Wrap and Reaction: Indiana 36 No. 8 Penn State 35

Opponent: Penn State Nittany Lions

Location: Saturday, October 24, 2020

Why They Played: The Hoosiers and Nittany Lions played as divisional foes to open up the 2020 season.

What The Game Meant: In a short season with no non-conference games, a win could propel either team to a special season. For the Hoosiers, the win is the first time they beat a top-10 team since 1987 and the first time at home doing that since 1967. Tom Allen checked boxes last season and just checked a big one off the list on Saturday.

Week Twelve Preview: Penn State Nittany Lions

The Hoosiers open the final quarter of the season with a road trip to Happy Valley to face the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State will be very young in 2019, but by November they should be all grown up. Indiana has never beaten Penn State in Beaver Stadium and for the Nittany Lions this becomes a game they must win if they want to compete for the division crown. Prior to playing Indiana, Penn State will be coming off of road trips to Michigan State and Minnesota. After the Hoosiers’ visit, Penn State will travel to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. For the Hoosiers this is the second game of a tough November that includes home dates with Northwestern and Michigan and the regular season finale at Purdue.
