No. 4 Hoosiers Improve to 3-0 with Win over WKU
On Saturday, Indiana shut out Western Kentucky 38-0 in Bloomington, extending the Football Bowl Subdivision's longest active winning streak to 19 games.
Limited to seven points through the first 29 1/2 minutes, the Hoosiers finally broke through after a late second-quarter interception by Isaiah Jones swung momentum.
Quarterback Josh Hoover threw for 273 yards, while Turbo Richard rushed for 149 yards and one score, and Charlie Becker added 127 receiving yards and a touchdown.
With 6:22 remaining, Western Kentucky offensive lineman Karsten Upchurch suffered an injury, prompting a 10-minute delay as WKU coach Tyson Helton and staff attended to him before he was carted off.
The Hoosiers begin Big Ten conference play Friday against Northwestern, while the Hilltoppers host Mercyhurst next Saturday as both teams look ahead to their next matchups.
