IU @ Western Kentucky





Indiana escaped Western Kentucky with an exciting 33-31 win.

Michael Penix, Jr. the redshirt junior completed 35-of-53 passes for 373 yards.  Penix was composed throughout, used his feet when he had to, and looked much more nimble and fundamentally sound than he had to this point in the season.  The 35 pass completions from Penix is tied for the fifth-most by a quarterback in program history for a single game.

Stephen Carr had a solid evening, rushing for 109 yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns. 

Ty Fryfogle was on the receiving end of six passes that resulted in conversions on third or fourth down.  For the game he snared 10 balls for 98 yards.  It was the second highest reception total in a game for his career.

Peyton Hendershot put together a second straight high volume game, pulling in six passes for 94 yards.  He became the 22nd Hoosier with 100 catches (105) and 1,000 yards (1,116).

Kicker Charles Campbell might have been IU’s MVP.  He was 4-for-4 kicking field goals and is now 19-for-20 for his career.  Campbell connected from 46, 37, 25 and 48 yards out, and Indiana needed all of them.
