Hoosiers Narrowly Defeated at Ross-Ade Stadium by Boilermakers in Football Showdown

The Indiana Hoosiers, with a record of 3-9, faced off against the Purdue Boilermakers, who held a slightly better record of 4-8. In a closely contested game, the final score read 31-35 in favor of the home team.

The Hoosiers' offense was able to amass a total of 359 yards throughout the game. The passing attack contributed significantly with 226 yards and three touchdowns. The longest pass completed was for 33 yards, which also resulted in the longest touchdown for the team. Despite these efforts, interceptions proved costly as three were thrown during critical moments.

On special teams, an impressive kick return spanning an entire field length resulted in a touchdown for Indiana. This remarkable play contributed to their total kick return yardage of 194 across eight returns. The kicking unit also had success with field goals; they made one from 39 yards out and maintained a perfect extra point conversion rate with four successful kicks.

Indiana's rushing game saw them carry the ball for a total of 133 yards over 34 attempts. Their longest rush was just shy of thirty yards but failed to result in any touchdowns on this occasion.

Penalties played their part as well; eight penalties cost Indiana seventy penalty yards throughout the course of play but did not reach an excessive number or yardage that would be considered extreme.

Defensively speaking, Indiana managed to sack Purdue's quarterback once and recorded nine tackles for loss totaling thirty-seven negative yards against their opponents. They forced one fumble during play but could not capitalize on it by returning it for points.
