IU Comeback Comes Up Short


IUHoosiers.com

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Tom Allen is on record, repeatedly, against the whole notion of playing college football on Friday nights.

The Indiana coach probably likes it even less after this particular Friday.

Minnesota withstood a furious IU comeback to prevail, 38-31.

IU scored 22 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to forge a 31-31 tie, then got the ball back at its own 24 with 3:24 left.

The offense couldn't convert a 3rd-and-1 when it had the opportunity to go win the game. The defense then gave up a decisive 67-yard pass from
Tanner Morgan to Rashod Bateman with 1:34 to play.
