In many regards, the Hoosiers losing on Saturday at Happy Valley to Penn State 34-27 was exactly how Indiana football has operated, coming close and coming up just short. Saturday’s game, though, was different in that it wasn’t a fluke performance in a season full of inconsistency. Indiana played, more or less, exactly like the team they have been this season. But a few very costly mistakes showed how fine the line is when attempting to upset a top-ten team on the road.
It would be hard to start anywhere but with Ramsey. His throw to Ty Fryfogle for the first touchdown was perfect even if no one was within 15 yards of him.
