By Brian Longly · Monday, Nov. 26,2001 12:11 a.m.

By Nick Bowton · Sunday, Nov. 18,2001 11:51 p.m.

The Nittany Lions converted 9-of-13 third downs, and three players set career highs in a 28-14 Penn State victory that deflated IU's bowl hopes. The Hoosiers are 3-6 with two games remaining.

Holding, IU, on senior fullback Jeremi Johnson. No touchdown, no final momentum drive. And the Hoosiers lost 28-14, with IU's post-season dreams dashed after a dreary, mistake-filled game that was topped off with the controversial holding call.
