Ben Chappell threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns in the second half, rallying the Hoosiers for a 36-34 victory over Arkansas State. The victory allowed Indiana to sweep its four nonconference opponents, end a two-game losing streak and regain some momentum.
Arkansas State was led by Ryan Aplin, who was 33 of 44 for 275 yards with two TD passes, two TD runs and two interceptions. He also set a single-game school record for completions, but the Red Wolves (2-5) still dropped to 0-5 all-time against Big Ten foes.
For 30 minutes, it looked as if Arkansas State might end that drought and earn the second win in school history over a BCS school. But Chappell's huge second half changed everything. Chappell found Terrance Turner for a nifty 27-yard TD pass late in the third quarter to make it 19-14. Arkansas State came close two or three times but never retook the lead.
