UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Before Saturday's Indiana matchup, wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton knew right where he was slotted on Penn State's all-time career receptions list.

Before pulling on his custom "Generations of Greatness" uniform inside the locker room at Beaver Stadium, Hamilton had already caught 172 career passes for the Nittany Lions, but career records were hardly top of mind as kickoff arrived.

Hamilton's first reception of the day came on Penn State's first scoring drive in the first quarter, a 4-yard grab with the Nittany Lions already leading 7-0 helped out by running back Saquon Barkley's sensational 98-yard return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff.
