After going up 7–0, Indiana scored on the next drive to tie it at 7–7, but Kevin Kelly kicked a field goal right before halftime to give the Lions a 10–7 lead at halftime. In the third quarter, Penn State scored two more touchdowns and a field goal to put it at 27–7. Penn State scored the final touchdown of the game in the 4th quarter.
