Indiana at Penn State

Two Big Ten schools will face off against one another when the Penn State Nittany Lions host the Indiana Hoosiers. Instead, the Nittany Lions’ own signal-caller burned Indiana with his legs – and his arm, too. Christian Hackenberg completed 10 of 19 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown.

That just meant more work for Penn State’s defense in preparation, but the Hoosiers ended up being hindered and having to start backup QB Zander Diamont rather than starter Nate Sudfeld.

Christian Hackenberg credited his touchdown dive to a former Penn State quarterback who blamed his 2012 end-zone plant on running with a clumsy knee brace. The play led to a seven-play, 52-yard touchdown drive that Hackenberg capped with a 5-yard run and dive into the end zone. Again, it’s hard to adequately judge Indiana on this game, considering how much was missing offensively.

The win allowed Penn State to close the first five-game homestand in Beaver Stadium history and the first since 1922 with a ideal 5-0 mark. ” ‘We’ve got to play with that swag and that confidence.’ Once we start playing with that, as a team, nothing can stop us”. However, both were far from their best against the Buckeyes and, making matters worse, each left with an ankle injury prior to the decisive fourth quarter, leaving their statuses for Saturday in doubt. This is his seventh season on The Inquirer’s Penn State beat. The Hoosiers now look to get back to their winning ways, but Penn State has the home field advantage in this conference matchup.

Usually used on sweep plays, Polk took off in motion and sprinted around the right side of Indiana’s defense where Hackenberg found him in stride down the sideline for a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.

Two plays later, Hackenberg hit freshman Brandon Polk on a beautifully conceived jet-screen release for a touchdown, giving the Lions a 7-0 lead. Franklin said it’s important for Hackenberg to run the ball to keep the defense honest.

On Saturday against Indiana, Penn State’s passing attack finally had the game fans – and pro scouts – were looking for. “Safer play – just get the ball in there”.

Slater said that the two losses helped them regroup for their next two matchups, even if they were saddened by their performance.

Four years ago, the NCAA brought the hammer down on Penn State University in the wake of an ugly child sex abuse case involving former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, former graduate assistant Mike McQueary, and a slew of miscommunications. “I think he did a real good job of showing it today”. Penn State’s defense ranks third in the nation averaging 4.2 sacks per game.
