Gameday Coverage: Penn State vs. Indiana

Good afternoon from Bloomington, Indiana where the Penn State Nittany Lions (3-1) are set to face the Indiana Hoosiers (2-2) in the Big Ten conference opener. Penn State enters the game coming off of a bye week that followed a 34-0 shutout victory against Kent State. Indiana won its opener against 73-35 before losing a close game to Navy 41-35. The Hoosiers beat Bowling Green 42-10 in Week 3 and lost to Missouri 45-28 two weeks ago before having a bye. Indiana led by head coach Kevin Wilson who is 7-21 in his third season at the helm. Bill O’Brien is facing Indiana for the second time as Penn State’s head coach and will look to add on to the Nittany Lions’ perfect record (16-0) against the Hoosiers.

Below is all of the media information and coverage for today:

Kickoff: 12:00 p.m.

Television: BTN — Matt Devlin (Play-by-play), Glen Mason (Analyst), Jon Jansen (Sideline)

Radio: Penn State Sports Network — Steve Jones (Play-by-play), Jack Ham (Analyst), Loren Crispell (Sideline reporter)

Weather: 80 degrees, Partly Cloudy, 50% chance of rain, 82% humidity. Look for some rain in the second half.

Last Time They Met: Matt McGloin had one of his best games of the season against Indiana last year, totaling 395 yards and four touchdowns including three to Allen Robinson in a 45-22 victory.

Injuries: Mike Hull is back in action and ready to go today. Ryan Keiser will miss the game with a hand injury suffered against Kent State before the bye week. Bill O’Brien says that he hopes to have Keiser back for Michigan next week.

Offensive guard Bernard Taylor is questionable today with an ankle jersey. Offensive tackle Peyton Eckert is expected to be out with a back injury.
