Virginia had an opportunity to make a statement this week against Indiana, but fell short 34-17 as the Wahoo offense was unable to come up with enough firepower to overcome the Hoosiers.
Kurt Benkert went 39-for-65 for 259 yards and a touchdown and Jordan Ellis punched in one rushing touchdown for the Hoos. For the second week in a row, Virginia struggled in the run game, finishing with just 55 yards on 25 carries. Benkert attempted more downfield shots this week, but was off the mark on all of them with his longest connection of the day coming for 20 yards to Olamide Zaccheaus.
