IU v Purdue

Dexter Williams II went down with 46 seconds left in the first quarter as he planted his leg to look downfield. When he turned, he, fell immediately fell to the ground with nobody near him.

Conner Bazelak replaced Williams following the injury and wound up 24 of 42 with 201 yards, one interception and one score. ... Jaylin Lucas had nine carries for 100 yards including a 71-yard TD run on Indiana's second play.

IU @ Ohio State

IU v Penn State

Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton gave No. 16 Penn State a knockout ground game. The combination was too much for Indiana.

Allen ran for 86 yards and a season-high three scores, Singleton added 73 yards rushing and another touchdown and the two freshmen helped the Nittany Lions rout the Hoosiers 45-14.

The Hoosiers once-promising season has gone almost completely gone off the rails. Despite firing his offensive line coach and changing quarterbacks, coach Tom Allen's team has not responded and now they may have to use an unproven starter against No. 2 Ohio State.

The Hoosiers ran 31 plays in the first half and 15 went for zero yards or negative yards. ... Indiana had minus-6 yards rushing in the first two quarters. ... The Hoosiers gave up 483 total yards and generated just 196 and the defense was on the field for nearly 36 minutes.
