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

Much of the talk since the greatest World Series in recent memory concerning baseball has been about contraction. Is it a viable solution? Does it actually solve any of baseball's problems?

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

STATE COLLEGE, Penn. -- Cam Cameron's motto -- score one more or hold them to one less -- works well when IU scores one more. The Hoosiers average just less than 30 points a game. But IU needed to hold Penn State to one less Saturday, and the Hoosier defense that made big plays in back-to-back victories heading into this weekend looked more like the one that ranks next-to-last in the Big Ten in points allowed. 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.

STATE COLLEGE, Penn. -- Penn State was up two touchdowns with just more than nine minutes left in the game, and the football team was at its three-yard line.

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.
