BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana football overcame an early 18-point deficit to defeat Maryland 47-28 in College Park, Md., Saturday. The Hoosiers ended the game on a dominant 44-7 run to claim their first Big Ten win of the season.
Every Sunday, IUHoosiers.com looks back at the week that was and gets a head start on previewing the matchup to come. The Hoosiers (5-6, 1-6 B1G East) will make the two-hour drive north to Purdue to play for the Old Oaken Bucket this week. The Boilermakers (2-9, 1-6 B1G West) lost 40-20 to Iowa last week.
Call it a comeback: Indiana's 18-point turnaround was tied for the third-largest comeback in program history. The Hoosiers last came back from 18 points to defeat Illinois 25-7 in 2006. Previously, IU overcame a 21-point deficit to beat Illinois in 1999 and a 23-point deficit to defeat Iowa in 1979.
Another road win: IU's win was its first against a Big Ten opponent on the road since beating Illinois in Champaign in 2012. The win was Indiana's second road win of the season, marking the first time since that same season the Hoosiers won two road games in a single season.
Cobbs has his day: Sophomore receiver Simmie Cobbs, Jr., put together the best game of his career in the victory. He finished with career-highs in receptions (9) and yards (192) for his third career 100-yard game, all coming this season. His 192 yards gave him the eighth-most in a single game in program history.
Oakes stays hot: For the second time in as many weeks, redshirt sophomore kicker Griffin Oakes matched an IU single-game record with four field goals to move to 20-of-22 on the season. He connected from 21, 19, 48 and 36 yards in the win and now has 33 field goals in his career.
PBUs: Redshirt sophomore cornerback matched a career-high with four pass breakups in the victory. He moved into the top spot nationally with 20 PBUs on the season.
Redding steps in: Sophomore running back Devine Redding carried a larger role after junior Jordan Howard was limited with an injury, finishing with a career-high 130 yards on 24 carries. It marked the first 100-yard game for Redding in his career.
Sudfeld climbs higher in rankings: With another passing week, senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld continued his climb up the all-time Indiana rankings. He finished with 385 yards and five total touchdowns (4 passing, 1 rushing) on 23-of-35 passing. Sudfeld, already IU's all-time touchdown leader with 54, became the third Hoosier to reach 7,000 passing yards, sits third all-time in completions (547), fifth in attempts (903) and fourth in total offense (7,239).
Keeping the Bucket: With a win against Purdue this week, the Hoosiers would claim the Old Oaken Bucket for a third consecutive year. The longest streak for IU is four, from 1944-47.
Bucket history: The Old Oaken Bucket was found on a farm between Kent and Hanover in southern Indiana. After an alumni meeting in Chicago, both the Indiana and Purdue fan bases decided in 1925 to make it the traditional rivalry trophy for each game. Purdue leads the all-time series 72-39-6.
Chance at six wins: In case Indiana needed even more motivation this week, IU has a chance to win its sixth game of the season for the first time since 2007, when the Hoosiers won seven times.
