No. 2 Indiana scores with 36 seconds remaining to avoid its first loss of the season and beat Penn State 27-24.

STATE COLLEGE | After video replay confirmed Indiana receiver Omar Cooper Jr.’s touchdown catch, Penn State interim head coach Terry Smith was fuming and leaned into the officiating crew. It was the most anger and frustration Smith has shown on the sideline in his four weeks on the job.

Penn State showed fight vs. Indiana. But the Nittany Lions' failed upset bid was another gut-punch in a brutal season.

"We refused to lose in the bleakest, more dire moments when it looked impossible," Cignetti said after Indiana handed Penn State its latest soul-crushing defeat, 27-24, on Saturday afternoon in Beaver Stadium.

The Lions scored 17 unanswered points in the second half to take a 24-20 lead on the Hoosiers. But IU scored the game-winning touchdown with 36 seconds left.

But then it collapsed. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza made one spectacular play after another and the Hoosiers ripped Penn State’s heart out, winning the game on a beautiful throw by Mendoza to Omar Cooper Jr. The air was sucked out of Beaver Stadium.
