In this story:

7:06 p.m. – Indiana moves to 3-6 with a 45-14 loss to Penn State.

6:55 p.m. – Jaylin Lucas pushes ahead for a 1-yard touchdown to complete an 8-play, 40-yard drive. Williams completed 1-of-2 passes for nine yards and rushed for 11 yards. PENN STATE 45, INDIANA 14

6:40 p.m. – Williams picked up a first down on an 11-yard rush, but Indiana punts for the ninth time three plays later.

6:29 p.m. – Williams' first throw of Indiana's drive sails way over the head of Emery Simmons, and it's easily intercepted by Daequan Hardy. Penn State scores on the next play, a 4-yard pass from Drew Allar to Theo Johnson. PENN STATE 45, INDIANA 7

6:23 p.m. – Allar rolls out and completes a pass to Harrison Wallace III for a 1-yard touchdown. PENN STATE 38, INDIANA 7

6:17 p.m. – Drew Allar now in at quarterback for Penn State. His first pass is a 16-yard completion to Liam Clifford, and a pass-interference penalty on Johnathan Haynes brings Penn State to the 2-yard line.

6:13 p.m. – Dexter Williams replaced Brendan Sorsby at quarterback. After a 23-yard rush from Josh Henderson, Williams completed his first two passes for 23 yards. He brought Indiana into the red zone, but his fourth pass is tipped and intercepted by Dani Dennis-Sutton.

5:59 p.m. – Indiana goes three and out for the seventh time today. Sorsby completed two passes to D.J. Matthews, but his 3rd-and-3 attempt fell incomplete. Nothing is working for the Indiana offense today.

5:50 p.m. – Kaytron Allen rumbles through the Indiana defense for a 45-yard gain to the Indiana 21-yard line. Allen delivered quite the hit on Noah Pierre, who held strong for the tackle. Theo Johnson picked up six yards, and Tiawan Mullen and KeAndre Lambert-Smith were tied up and both received flags for unsportsmanlike conduct. Allen score and easy rushing touchdown on the next play. PENN STATE 31, INDIANA 7

5:44 p.m. – Indiana gets the ball back, and Sorsby's pass is intercepted by Kalen King. Javon Swinton had a step on the defense, but the pass was under thrown.

5:35 p.m. – Brendan Sorsby in at quarterback for Indiana to start the second half. Indiana goes three and out for the seventh time today.

5:13 p.m. – Jake Pinegar drills a 50-yard field goal. At halftime, PENN STATE 24, INDIANA 7

5:06 p.m. – Brendan Sorsby was a three-star recruit and the No. 13 dual-threat quarterback by ESPN in class of 2022 out of Lake Dallas High School in Texas. He was the Denton Record-Chronicle 2021 Quarterback of the Year after passing for 1,271 yards and 14 touchdowns and rushing for 823 yards with 15 touchdown.

5:03 p.m. – True freshman Brendan Sorsby in at quarterback for Indiana, trailing Penn State 21-7 with 4:54 left in the second quarter. He's sacked on the first two plays, and Indiana punts.

4:58 p.m. – Kaytron Allen dodges four would-be tacklers for his second touchdown of the game. Allen shredded the Indiana defense to complete an 8-play, 85-yard drive. PENN STATE 21, INDIANA 7

4:50 p.m. – Clifford's pass sailed over Theo Johnson's head, and Devon Matthews collides with Johnson a bit too late, the refs say. Matthews is flagged for unnecessary roughness, a 15-yard penalty that brings Penn State to the Indiana 41-yard line. Not sure what Matthews is expected to do there. The hit wasn't that late, he wasn't leading with his helmet and he didn't collide with Johnson's head or neck area. 4:48 p.m. – Indiana punts again after a quick three and out. The offense is struggling again, and arguably its most explosive player, Jaylin Lucas, has no touches today. Meanwhile, Josh Henderson has two carries for four yards, and Shaun Shivers has two carries for -9 yards and one catch for four yards.

4:41 p.m. – A pop pass from Clifford to Kaytron Allen moves Penn State into the red zone for a 27-yard gain. Aaron Casey nearly brought him down on a shoestring tackle near the line of scrimmage, but Allen broke free. Allen runs to the outside for an 11-yard touchdown. Indiana sideline begging for a holding penalty on that one. PENN STATE 14, INDIANA 7

4:34 p.m. – Lance Bryant brings Clifford down from behind, and it's a quick three and out for Penn State. Indiana gets the ball back at its own 10-yard line.

4:32 p.m. – Tuttle found a soft spot in the Penn State defense and scrambled to pick up what was originally ruled a first down. Review shows Tuttle slid before the first down marker when he still had room to run, so Indiana punts. That could turn out to be a costly mistake.

4:26 p.m. – Indiana's defense gets off the field after two Clifford incompletions. Tuttle and the Hoosiers take over at their own 20-yard line.

4:24 p.m. – Another 3rd down conversion brings Penn State across midfield. This time, a 14-yard completion to Parker Washington. Penn State is 3 for 4 on third down today.

4:17 p.m. – Indiana got a first down at the 19-yard line, but is now punting from the 44-yard line after two sacks and a false start on Josh Sales. Tuttle took a couple huge hits on that drive, and Indiana's offensive line has no answer for Penn State up front right now. Indiana unable to take advantage of a takeaway in Penn State territory.

4:10 p.m. – Tiawan Mullen intercepts Sean Clifford at the Penn State 31-yard line on a tipped ball. That's a huge turnover for the momentum of the game, as well as the Indiana defense, which has struggled to generate takeaways in recent games.

4:07 p.m. – Runs of six and 15 yards from Jack Tuttle bring Indiana into the red zone. Tuttle finds tight end AJ Barner in the end zone for a sliding, 11-yard touchdown. That's an 8-play, 75-yard drive that ends in Tuttle's first touchdown pass of the season. INDIANA 7, PENN STATE 7

4:05 p.m. – Indiana's first first down of the game is a 14-yard completion from Tuttle to Emery Simmons. Andison Coby is wide open on a crossing route on the next play, and he hits the sideline for a 35-yard gain.

4:01 p.m. – Nicholas Singleton walks in the end zone on sweep to the left side. Indiana stuffed Penn State on first down, but Singleton scores with ease on second down. PENN STATE 7, INDIANA 0

3:58 p.m. – Mitchell Tinsley hauls in another superb catch with Jaylin Williams all over him. That's back-to-back 3rd and 8 conversions from Tinsley as Penn State moves to the 2-yard line midway through the first quarter.

3:50 p.m. – On 3rd and 8, Mitchell Tinsley makes an impressive diving catch on the sideline for a Penn State first down. Indiana's All-American cornerback Tiawan Mullen is down after the play. That's a player Indiana really can't afford to lose, already playing without linebacker Cam Jones.

3:43 p.m. – Jack Tuttle is sacked on the first play of Indiana's first drive. Shaun Shivers brought down for a five-yard loss on an outside run. Tight end AJ Barner was late getting there for the block. Indiana goes three and out on its first possession.

3:41 p.m. – Indiana's Lance Bryant bursts through the middle of the Penn State offensive line to sack Sean Clifford for a nine-yard loss on third down. Penn State punts, and Indiana will take over at it's own 18-yard line.

3:38 p.m. – James Head Jr. brings pressure on the first play of the game, and Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford is brought down for no gain. Penn State's left guard Hunter Nourzad is down after the play.

3:37 p.m. – Indiana wins the toss, and Penn State will receive the opening kickoff. The ball blew off the tee twice before Chris Freeman was able to kick it for a touchback.

3:02 p.m. – As expected, Cam Jones will not play today. Jared Casey is also not in pads for pregame warmups, so the linebacker room will be extra shorthanded today.

2:42 p.m. – Jack Tuttle was taking snaps from Zach Carpenter during warmups. That's the first and most prominent sign that Tuttle will be the starting quarterback today. Connor Bazelak is nowhere to be seen during pregame warmups. Brendan Sorsby and Grant Gremel were the other quarterbacks taking snaps. Dexter Williams is fully dressed and now throwing to receivers, but he was not taking snaps when the team first took the field.

2:00 p.m. – It's a cloudy and windy day in Bloomington, Ind. as Indiana takes on No. 15 Penn State at 3:30 p.m. ET. As I walked into Memorial Stadium, wind gusts blew over the walkthrough metal detectors and a few tables. It could a tough day to move the ball through the air today. Stay tuned for injury updates during pregame warmups.
