In their first bowl appearance since 2007, the Hoosiers led Duke throughout, but ultimately fell on a controversial missed field goal call, 44-41, in overtime in the Pinstripe Bowl and Yankee Stadium in New York.
Duke (8-5) got a field goal on its first OT drive, giving Nate Sudfeld and Indiana (6-7) a chance to tie or win the game. The Hoosiers went 3-and-out, though, setting kicker Griffin Oakes up for a potential game-tying FG.
Oakes' 38-yard attempt was ruled no good, but Oakes immediately chased after the officials and challenged their decision.
"No way I missed that," he told the officials.
But because the kick was determined to have been over the uprights, the play was not reviewable, and the game was over.
