Week 5: Penn State Football vs. Indiana

Who could forget the end of last season’s game against the Indiana Hoosiers?

The Hoosiers upset the Nittany Lions on a controversial two-point conversion last year, and helped spiral the Penn State season from there. There is nothing more Penn State and their fans want than to get some revenge.

Michael Penix will return at quarterback for the Hoosiers, as does his favorite target Ty Fryfogle.  On defense, star linebacker Micah McFadden returns along with a solid secondary. Although Indiana was lucky in a few games last year, and regression in terms of wins is expected, this is still a talented bunch.

This game will be like the past few Indiana matchups, very close.

Feeling good after an easy victory against Villanova, and in the mood to get some payback, the Nittany Lions find a way to pull this one out, especially with it being at home.
