Game Notes
Indiana at Michigan State
October 24, 2015
• Nate Sudfeld tied Indiana's career passing touchdowns record with 48 after his three-TD effort. The senior went 23-for-37 for 308 yards, his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season and the eighth of his career. Sudfeld has seven three-score games in his career and three this year.
• With his three touchdown pass effort, Sudfeld now moves into a tie with Kellen Lewis (2006-08) in school history for most career touchdown passes with 48.
• With his 308 yards through the air, Sudfeld also has recorded 16 career 200-yard passing games (tied for third at IU) and 10 250-yard passing games (third at IU).
• Redshirt junior Mitchell Paige led the Hoosiers with a career-high 8 receptions, while logging 99 receiving yards.
• Simmie Cobbs, Jr., finished with five receptions for a career-high 108 yards and a 37-yard touchdown. The sophomore has two 100-yard games and three scores this year and in his career.
• Cobbs netted his first 100-yard game one week ago against Rutgers. He is the first Hoosiers wide receiver with consecutive 100-yarders since Cody Latimer tallied three straight in 2013 (Sept. 14, Sept. 21, Oct. 5).
• Ricky Jones carded his fifth touchdown of the season and his career, from 11 yards out, to tie the game at 14. The redshirt junior caught five balls for 45 yards.
• Senior Andre Booker scored his first career touchdown in the third quarter, a 3-yard strike from Sudfeld.
• Indiana's second TD drive covered 94 yards, the Hoosiers fifth 90-plus yard scoring drive of the season.
• Running back Jordan Howard returned to action for the first time since the Ohio State game in week five and carried the ball 11 times for 78 yards with a 5-yard touchdown. He now has five touchdowns this season and 20 in his career.
• Marcus Oliver forced his fourth fumble of the season and recorded his sixth takeaway (fumble recovery and interception) in the second quarter. The redshirt sophomore linebacker owns nine takeaways (seven forced fumbles) in 22 career games.
• Oliver added seven tackles (five solo), two TFLs and one pass breakup.
• Indiana's defense has collected a takeaway in 14 straight games.
• IU finished with a season-high 13 tackles for loss, its first double-digit game since an 11-TFL performance against Penn State on Nov. 8, 2014.
• The Hoosiers added four sacks – 2.5 by T.J. Simmons, one by Tegray Scales and a half-sack by Zack Shaw.
• Linebacker T.J. Simmons picked up a tackle for loss and his first sack of the season on the defense's first two plays. The junior didn't stop there, closing the ballgame with career-highs in tackles (15), sacks (2.5) and TFLs (four). Simmons four stops for loss share fifth on IU's single-game list and are the most for a Hoosier since defensive lineman Adam Replogle had four at Penn State on Nov. 17, 2012.
• Redshirt sophomore safety Chase Dutra tallied his second career double-digit tackle game with 13, a career-high. He netted his first in week five against Ohio State with 11.
• Right guard Dan Feeney (third time in 2015), defensive end Nick Mangieri (fourth), linebacker Marcus Oliver (third) and left tackle Jason Spriggs (second) served as Indiana's game captains.
• The Hoosiers wore the script Indiana crimson helmet for the first time this season.
• Indiana received the ball first for the third time this season.
