@ Purdue

In the first half, IU halfback Stephen Houston ran for 123 yards on 17 carries for three touchdowns. He also had four receptions for 39 yards. The Hoosiers would account for 264 yards of offense in the first half. The Boilers would respond in the third quarter by scoring three straight before the Hoosiers would tie the game at 35 early in the 4^th quarter. 28 points off of turnovers in the second half along with poor tackling by the Hoosiers would seal the deal for the Boilers to win the 88^th Old Oaken Bucket Game 35-56.  

Purdue leads the all-time series against IU 72-37 with six ties.

Maryland Rutgers now make it 14

The Rutgers/Maryland addition brings about 1.4 million total 'fans' to the Big 10, a number roughly equal to Wisconsin's fan base.

The three biggest fan bases in football,  are all B1G schools: Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. Notre Dame is #4.

Rutgers would be the 10th biggest fan base once added. Maryland would be #14.

IU fares - #11 in the newly expanded B1G  a slot better than Purdue.

@ Penn State

It was too much Matt McGloin and Allen Robinson for Penn State Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium.

McGloin threw for 395 yards and four touchdowns, three of them to Robinson, as Penn State defeated Indiana 45-22. Robinson had 10 catches for 197 yards and the three scores.

Indiana only trailed 14-13 midway through the second quarter before Penn State  scored two touchdowns at the end of the half to build a 28-13 lead at intermission.

IU came back to cut the lead to 28-22 in the third quarter but the Nittany Lions scored 17 unanswered points to put the game away.

Indiana quarterback Cameron Coffman had a big day in a losing effort. He completed 33-of-59 passes for 454 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The loss ended IU’s hopes for bowl eligibility. The Hoosiers (4-7, 2-5 Big Ten) will close out the season next Saturday at Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket game.
