The Hoosiers had a new uniform wrinkle against Virginia — white helmets. Not quite the black uniforms of the Cam Cameron era but significantly different. The first time for white helmets since 1966. Silly mistakes, personal fouls, a blocked field goal, a botched return kick in the first half saw the Hoosiers trailing 16 – 3 at the half.
In the 2nd half IU would score 28 straight points only to have the Cavalries score the final 11 points in the final 96 seconds - capping the game with a go-ahead field goal with :02 remaining. Great effort to get back into it, but you gotta close the deal.
