Penn State heartbreak

Penn State’s hopes for a statement win vanished in the final seconds Saturday as the Nittany Lions fell 27-24 to undefeated Indiana. The Hoosiers stayed perfect behind a last-minute touchdown drive led by Heisman Trophy favorite Fernando Mendoza. Despite a strong defensive showing early, the Lions couldn’t contain the Indiana quarterback and the Hoosiers’ excellent receiving corps at crucial points.
