BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Oct. 21 Indiana-Ohio State football game will be televised on ESPNU with a noon EDT kickoff at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The game can also be heard on the statewide IU Radio Network (Don Fischer, Pete Compise and Joe Smith).
Game times are predicated on the Big Ten Conference television agreement with ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Plus and are often not announced until 12 days before kickoff.
This weekend, Indiana (3-3, 1-1) returns home after earning its first Big Ten win of the season when No. 15/13 Iowa (5-1, 2-1) travels to Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 14. The game will be televised on ESPN2 with a noon EDT kickoff.
Sophomore Marcus Thigpen returned his third kickoff for a touchdown in 2006 and sophomore Austin Starr's 33-yard field goal as time expired carried Indiana past Illinois on Oct. 7, 34-32, capping an amazing comeback and spoiling the Illini's Homecoming.
Thigpen finished with 197 yards on kickoff returns, 91 yards rushing and 23 receiving yards, good for 311 all-purpose yards, the fourth-best single-game mark in IU history. Redshirt freshman quarterback Kellen Lewis finished 20-for-39 with 240 yards as the Hoosiers erased a 25-7 second-quarter deficit en route to its third win of the season.
