With Penn State having just notched another touchdown to go up 21-7 with a little over five minutes remaining in the first half, Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle trotted back onto the field to try and lead his team to another touchdown drive similar to the one he engineered in the first quarter to tie the game at 7-7. Doing so would make the game truly interesting again and give the Hoosiers some momentum and hope heading into halftime.
Such hopes were crushed on the second play of said drive when D’Von Ellies brought Tuttle to the ground for a sack for the fifth and final time of the game.
