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.
