BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana this week gets a second possibility to hit off a top-10 opponent.<\/p>\n
Are a Hoosiers (2-1, 0-1 Big Ten) improved prepared to do to No. 4 Penn State (4-0, 1-0) what they couldn’t do opposite then-No. 2 Ohio State in a deteriorate opener?<\/p>\n
Coach Tom Allen believes so.<\/p>\n
“Going into Ohio State and diversion one, there were a lot of things we consider are a certain way, a certain clarity we have, and now we know,” Allen said. “We had questions about some positions.”<\/p>\n
One doubt was answered this past Saturday when beginner tailback Morgan Ellison rushed for 186 yards in a 52-17 feat over Georgia Southern. Ellison has a team-leading 257 rushing yards and averages 5.8 yards a carry.<\/p>\n
“We suspicion Morgan was a good actor and he’s proven he can be a really good using behind during this level,” Allen said. “We are a most improved group currently since we have a improved clarity of who we are and what a strengths are. We know what to concentration on. That gives we confidence.”<\/p>\n
That certainty jumped with a win during Virginia, a group that is now 3-1 with a feat during Boise State, and afterwards again by winning Georgia Southern with a rushing conflict that had been blank a initial dual games.<\/p>\n
This Saturday’s plea during Penn State is most some-more formidable. Indiana is 0-9 during Beaver Stadium, and 1-19 opposite a Nittany Lions. The Hoosiers’ usually win came in 2013.<\/p>\n
