Indiana upsets No. 8 Penn State in wild, controversial overtime finish

Indiana upset No. 8 Penn State 36-35 in overtime on Saturday. The game’s ending sequence was one of the wildest you will ever see.

The game went into overtime and Penn State struck first to take a 35-28 lead. When Indiana scored, head coach Tom Allen opted to keep his offense on the field to go for two points and the win.

It came down to the slimmest of margins.

IU quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was flushed out of the pocket and forced to dive for the pylon. Penix had to stretch the ball out as far as he could, and the play was ruled a successful try on the field.
