Keep the story called up and refresh it as needed. Let's have some fun.

FINAL SCORE: NO. 12 INDIANA 27, MARYLAND 11.

3:21 p.m. ET — Hoosiers recover Maryland's onside, and that's going to be all she wrote as Indiana will improve to 5-1 on the season. 

3:17 p.m. ET — Maryland finally scores a touchdown. Tagovailoa tosses a prayer to the end zone to Dontay Demus for a 43-yard touchdown pass. Terrapins connect on the two-point conversion as well. (INDIANA 27, MARYLAND 11).

3:08 p.m. ET — Baldwin now has 15 carries for 104 yards, which is the first 100-yard rusher of the season for Indiana. Baldwin is now the 14th true freshman to rush for more than 100 yards in IU history.

3 p.m. ET — For the third time today, Scott finds the end zone from the wildcat. He has 24 carries for 80 yards and 3 TD's. (INDIANA 27, MARYLAND 3).

VIEWS: Tim Baldwin Jr., the freshman, has really excelled as the number two back today with Sampson James out. He was 12 carries for 98 yards, and is showing good vision and explosion.

2:45 p.m. ET — Indiana's defense continues to impress. Micah McFadden just came up with an interception, which is the Hoosiers' third pick of the day.

2:42 p.m. ET — Charles Campbell nails a 33-yard field goal to get Indiana more of a lead. Hoosiers have 190 rushing yards in the game. (INDIANA 20, MARYLAND 3).

2:25 p.m. ET — Tuttle didn't need to do much. Stevie Scott takes two snaps from the wildcat and gets in the end zone. (INDIANA 17, MARYLAND 3).

2:21 p.m. ET — Michael Penix ran it for 21 yards, but he was limping after the run. He is being helped back to the locker room. Jack Tuttle will come in. 

2:10 p.m. ET — Indiana's defense comes up with a safety on Maryland's first play. Tagovailoa is brought down by D.K. Bonhomme for a loss of four yards. (INDIANA 9, MARYLAND 3).

2:07 p.m. ET — Indiana came out in the second half and executed nicely down the field. Penix completed some short passes to get into a rhythm, but Indiana was stuffed on 4th-and-2 inside the red zone, so Maryland will take over. 

1:35 p.m. ET — An atrocious first half from Indiana's offense. Hoosiers have punted six times, and Penix is 2-of-15 from the field for 37 yards. Maryland has outgained Indiana 237-139, but Indiana still has the lead thanks to the stellar defense. (HALFTIME: INDIANA 7, MARYLAND 3).  

1:29 p.m. ET — It's a punt party here in Bloomington. There have been nine punts so far in this first half. Five from Indiana and four from Maryland. Hoosiers still leading 7-3.

1:18 p.m. ET — Finally an opponent hit a field goal against Indiana. Maryland gets on the board with a 38-yard field goal. (INDIANA 7, MARYLAND 3). 

VIEWS: Not sure what is wrong with Indiana's offense right now. Penix can't find any of his receivers. He is only 2-of-10 for 37 yards. A lot of three-and-outs, but Indiana's defense is keeping them afloat. But, this is definitely not what you wanted following up the explosive second half against Ohio State. Only feels like a matter of time before Maryland gets some points on the board.

1:02 p.m. ET — There's 9:11 left in the second quarter and Penix is just 1-for-8 for 37 yards. His throws are a little off right now. He also took a shot on Indiana's last drive and walked off a little gingerly. 

12:50 p.m. ET — Just like last week with Jamar Johnson against Ohio State, Indiana turns it over from their own takeaway. Jaylin Williams picked off Tagovailoa, but on his return, he fumbles and Maryland gets it right back.

VIEWS: This feels a lot like the Penn State game right now. Maryland has outgained Indiana 119-72, but the Hoosiers lead 7-0. Terrapins have gotten some chunk plays, but Indiana's defense has gotten the necessary stops. Meanwhile, Indiana's offense is struggling in all facets right now. Penix has one completion so far.

12:40 p.m. ET — Once again Maryland's offense struggles in the red zone. Tiawan Mullen comes up with an interception, and Indiana takes over at its own 2-yard line. (END OF FIRST QUARTER: INDIANA 7, MARYLAND 0). 

12:30 p.m. ET — Indiana got a little creative in the run game, using David Ellis and Stevie Scott in the wildcat to get the run game going. Scott takes it up the middle for three yards for Indiana's first score of the game. (INDIANA 7, MARYLAND 0). 

12:25 p.m. ET — WATCH: Michael Penix draws the defense offside and nails Miles Marshall for a 37-yard pass.

12:14 p.m. ET — Pretty flat first drive for Indiana's offense. Hoosiers lose two yards on three plays. Offense talked about starting fast, but poor start on their first possession. 

12:11 p.m. ET — It was a really nice opening drive by Maryland, but on third down, Taulia Tagovailoa overthrew a wide open receiver in the back of the end zone. Terrapins miss a field goal, so Indiana's offense will take over at their own 12. No team has hit a field goal against Indiana this season. 

12 p.m. ET — Indiana won and elected to defer. Maryland will get the ball first. 

11:55 a.m. ET — Indiana's one word for the week is "respond." After a tough loss to Ohio State last weekend, Tom Allen wants his team to respond strong today against the Terrapins. We are five minutes away from kickoff.
