BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
After back-to-back heartbreaking losses, the Nittany Lions needed a win to stabilize their shaky season. And they got it.
Penn State edged Indiana, 33-28 in a complicated victory Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Nittany Lions avoided their first three-game losing streak since 2015, but did so unconvincingly.
Trace McSorley completed 19 of 36 passes for 220 yards and added 107 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Miles Sanders was effective early when given the opportunity and finished with 72 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. And Indiana native Tommy Stevens — Penn State’s Swiss Army Knife — threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth.
