Virginia 34, IU 31: Hoosiers lose first home game

Indiana's home opener was a game of runs, with Virginia scoring 20 unanswered at one
point and IU scoring 28 unanswered, but it was three points at the end that decided it.

Virginia’s senior kicker Robert Randolph made a short field goal in the final seconds to secure a 34-31 win for the Cavaliers.

Clinging to an eight-point lead with two minutes left, the Hoosiers surrendered a touchdown and a two-point conversion with 1:36 remaining. When IU got the ball and began to drive for a possibly dramatic win, sophomore quarterback Edward Wright-Baker was sacked and fumbled, giving UVA the ball with just over a minute to play.

All the Cavaliers had to do was run the clock down and kick the chip shot. The Hoosiers fall to 0-2, while the Cavaliers sit at 2-0.
