Indiana started fast and spoiled a big Saturday night at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
The Hoosiers marched down the field on their opening drive, put points on the board in each of their first-half possessions and stayed in front of Western Kentucky throughout the game for a 33-31 victory in front of a record crowd of 25,171 at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
"The team battled hard. That's a really good Indiana team," WKU head coach Tyson Helton said. "I thought defensively when we needed to get some stops we got some, offense at times scored really fast and did some good things, but it wasn't good enough.
