Backup QB Tayven Jackson and defense help No. 13 Indiana stay perfect with 31-17 win over Washington

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Quarterback Tayven Jackson threw for one touchdown and ran for another in his first start of the season, and D'Angelo Ponds' two interceptions both led to scores as No. 13 Indiana pulled away from Washington 31-17 on Saturday.

The Hoosiers (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) have tied the 1967 Rose Bowl team for the best start in school history while staying atop the league standings.

Jackson replaced the injured Kurtis Rourke (right thumb) and went 11 of 19 with 124 yards, one TD pass and one interception, and his 2-yard TD run with 8:55 to play gave the Hoosiers a 31-14 lead.
