Indiana stared the program’s first potential loss of the 2025 season right in the face and didn’t blink against Penn State on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Trailing 24–20 with under a minute left in the game, the Hoosiers drove down the field and scored the eventual go-ahead touchdown on an incredibly improbable reception in the end zone by Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. with 36 seconds left in the game.
The Hoosiers held on, leaving coach Curt Cignetti emotional.
