IU v Wake Forest

Wake Forest's defense kept taking the ball away.

On a day the Demon Deacons picked off five passes and blocked a field goal, Quarterback John Wolford ran for two scores, threw for another and led Wake to a momentous 33-28 victory at Indiana. Wake is off to its first 4-0 start (1-0 ACC) in 10 years and celebrated coach Dave Clawson's 100th career win.

The Hoosiers first loss came in unexpected fashion. Devine Redding ran 16 times for 68 yards. And after throwing no interceptions in his first two FBS starts, Lagow turned it over five times. Yes, the Hoosiers played without their starting right tackle and starting right guard, but they must play much better going forward.

Indiana had a moment of silence before the game for Allison Hoeppner, the daughter of Terry and Jane Hoeppner, who the school said was killed in a car crash early Saturday. Terry Hoeppner coached the Hoosiers for two seasons and died in June 2007 after battling brain cancer. "We are shocked and saddened by this terrible tragedy," Coach Wilson said in a statement. "The Hoeppners mean a great deal, not only to me and my family, but to the entire IU Football family."

IU v Ball State

Richard Lagow and Devine Redding kept the Indiana offense humming. The Hoosiers defense took care of everything else. Lagow threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns and Redding extended his streak of consecutive 100-yard games to five, Indiana forced three turnovers, pitched its first first-half shutout in four years and survived a frantic fourth-quarter flurry for a 30-20 victory over Ball State.

IU @ Florida International

Trailing 13 - 12 entering the fourth quarter the Hoosiers scored 21 points to pull away 31-13. Richard Lagow passed for one score and ran for another. The defense returned two interceptions. The game had a little of everything; a safety, a missed field goal a bad snap on another field goal try, two defensive touchdowns and an end-around for a two point conversion.

New Turf

Pinstripe Bowl

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.
