What we may find out in this game is the gap between Penn State and Indiana may not be as vast as we initially thought. Penn State is seen as the second-best team in the Big Ten behind only the division rival Ohio State Buckeyes. Indiana is viewed as the fourth or fifth-best program in its own division. Indiana has better than an outside shot of pulling off this home upset of Penn State.
Though Indiana will briefly lead in this game late, Penn State will do enough in the final two frames to hold off being upset on the road in Bloomington. While Penn State covers the 6.5-point spread, we get a push on the over/under of 62. This game will be too close for comfort for Penn Staters, as many Hoosiers will wonder how their favorite college team let this one slip away.
Prediction: Penn State 35, Indiana 27
