BLOOMINGTON – What looked like calamity turned quickly into the defining sequence of Simmie Cobbs’ emphatic return to football Thursday night.
IU senior quarterback Richard Lagow had just seen a short pass, under duress, ruled a fumble and returned for an Ohio State touchdown. Only video review saved the Hoosiers — Lagow’s arm was clearly moving forward.
When the booth determined the play an incompletion, Lagow turned immediately to his No. 1 receiver for a 17-yard grab. Then a 19-yard grab. Then another six yards.
That drive would end with an Ian Thomas touchdown, Indiana’s last in a frustrating 49-21 loss to No.
