Penn State didn’t play their best game, actually they looked awful at points, but the Nittany Lions were able to defeat Indiana on a windy afternoon in Bloomington 33-28.
Special teams were a huge part of the game, with a 94-yard Jonathan Thomas return to set up a touchdown, and a Jonathan Sutherland forced fumbled on a fourth quarter kickoff being the two key plays in a much needed win.
The strong special teams play began early, with a blazing 58-yard return on the games opening kickoff by KJ Hamler. The Nittany Lions capitalized when Miles Sanders punched it in from a yard out to put Penn State up 7-0 just two minutes in.
