• The Hoosiers had 11 team tackles for loss, the most since also recording 11 against Purdue on Nov. 26, 2016.
• Penn State's 39 rushing yards were the fewest rush yards allowed by Indiana since Aug. 30, 2014, vs. Indiana State (30). In addition, it's the fewest allowed against a Big Ten team since Nov. 30, 2013, vs. Purdue (31).
• IU has limited Saquon Barkley to just 114 yards (58 in 2016 and 56 in 2017) over the last two seasons on 53 carries, good for a 2.2 average.

• With three tackles for loss, Scales sits fifth in IU history with 39.0 in his career. Scales three TFLs match the third-highest total of his career and give him 12 multi-TFL career games. The Cincinnati native registered a team-high 11 total stops, with seven of those being solo, good for the 12th double-digit tackle game of his career.

• Junior safety Jonathan Crawford's interception in the second quarter is his team-leading eighth of his career and first of the season. Crawford added a trio of tackles, including two solo.
• Crawford earned his second career field goal block on a fourth quarter Penn State attempt and his first since Sept. 5, 2015, against Southern Illinois. Indiana's last field goal block came against Michigan State last season with a block by Patrick Dougherty.
• Senior linebacker Chris Covington contributed a career-best two tackles for loss and matched his career-high with eight total tackles, set at Virginia earlier this season.
• Fifth-year senior safety Chase Dutra added seven tackles, with six of those being solo, the most since he had seven solos against Ohio State on Oct. 3, 2015.
