Hoosiers Jump to Large Lead, Almost Blow It
Indiana jumped out to a quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter of their Big 10 match up with Rutgers. However, the Knights quickly closed back in to 17-10 at halftime and then tying the game at 20 all in the 4th.
The Hoosiers launched a methodical drive down the field in the final two minutes, capping off the victory with a Griffin Oakes field goal.
Oakes is becoming quite the folk legend in Hoosier-ville as he has won multiple games over the past two seasons with his right foot in the waning seconds.
Indiana (3-0, 1-0) has a BYE in Week 5 before faching off against Northwestern at home in Week 6.
