Of the 30 something straight ranked losses we’ve had, this one seems middle of the pack. Pretty predictable, come from ahead loss.

No weird fumbles, interceptions, punt return safeties. Just a solidly fun game with a heartbreaking loss

There was an interception, It's just that Indiana wasn't able to do anything with it

An interception on 3rd and 16 when you are midfield that results in Indiana starting in their own 2 yard line is technically an interception, but is not necessarily a game altering play like a traditional interception is. If it was incomplete they probably would have punted and hoped to pin Indiana inside of the 2 anyway.

This response is core Big ten East. Us from the Big ten West know an incredible punt when we see it.
