FIRST QUARTER. >> MATT SLATER HAS RETURNED THREE FOR TOUCHDOWNS. DESMOND FROM THE 22 TACKLED AT THE 37-YARD LINE. THE COACHING STAFF SAYS THEY BELIEVE IN HIS ABILITY TO BOUNCE BACK AND THEY BELIEVE HE WILL PLAY WELL TODAY FOR PERDUE A QUICK THROW AND IT IS DROPPED IN AND OUT OF THE HANDS OF SOMEONE LINEMAN. ROLLING AND THROWS IT AND NEARLY INTERCEPTED. TO GET UNDERNEATH DURING BRIAN IN THE SLOT THEY WANT MORE SPEED ON THE FIELD. FIRST IN TOWN THEY BRING THE BULLETS AND NO CHANCE. IT’S QUICKLY THREE AND OUT FOR PERDUE. >> JARED ARMSTRONG AND LEADING BACK WAS TRACY AND HE WAS TACKLED. OUTSTANDING COVERAGE. KEEP AN EYE ON NUMBER 82. JAMES HARDY ONE OF THE BEST WIDE RECEIVERS. AND THEN BACK AT THE STARTING CENTER POSITION AND THAT IS FOR SURE IN MOTION. SPINNING HIS WAY OUT ACROSS THE 20 CIRCLING AROUND IN THE CATCH IS MADE BY PAYTON. OUT OF THE SHOTGUN PLENTY OF TIME IN THE DARK AND THERE IS HIS MAIN MAN JAMES HARDY. INDIANA’S CAREER LEADER. >> START HERE AT THE END. HANDED OFF TO BILL KENNEDY AND OFF TO THE 44-YARD LINE ON THE FIRST DOWN CARRY. OUT OF THE BACKFIELD AND HE MAKES THE CATCH AND HE STAYS IN BOUNDS AND GOES ACROSS MIDFIELD TO THE 48 AND THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR AN INDIANA FIRST DOWN. THIRD DOWN AND THREE. LEWIS TO THROW IT. BOY, THAT’S A LONG THROW FOR 2- YARD GAIN BUT IT IS ANOTHER CONVERSION ON THIRD DOWN. THEY FAKED THE HANDOFF TO THIGPEN. LEWIS KEEPS HIMSELF AND HE WILL PICK UP TWO. ILLINOIS PLAYED A TERRIFIC GAME IN COLUMBUS. DID HE EVER HAVE POSSESSION AND MARCUS THIGPEN COULD NOT FIND THE HANDLE. A NICE CALL BY MIKE DOLSI IN THE FIRST THIRD AND LONG FOR INDIANA. >> GREAT PROTECTION FOR LEWIS AND NOW HE IS UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE AND THE CATCH IS MADE ACROSS THE MIDDLE THAT’S THE FIRST DOWN TO THE 29-YARD LINE. A GAIN OF 17. HERE COMES THE REVERSE THE OTHER WAY TO FISHER AND LIED BEAUTIFULLY BY PERDUE DEFENSE. YOU GO FROM 114 IN TOTAL TO 59TH, NICE IMPROVEMENT.

IT WAS ABLE TO GET SAVED BY THE GOAL LINE AND TRACY PORTER SPREADING DOWN TO MAKE THAT PLAY. NO SCORES AND THEY PLAY FOR THE 110TH TIME. THE 83RD TIME FOR THE JAISON TAYLOR AND MET IMMEDIATELY BY JOE KREMER WHO IS BACK IN THE STARTING LINEUP AFTER MISSING TIME WITH INJURY. >> YOU NEED A SET UP WHILE ON DEFENSE. HE THROWS AND GETS HIM OUT OF BIG TROUBLE AND ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE CATCH FIRST DOWN FROM THE 22-YARD LINE. TAYLOR WRAPPED UP AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. ADAM MCCLURG THE MIDDLE LINEBACKER. >> SUPERHIGH MOTORS. THE SKY GOES FULL SPEED WHETHER IT IS PRACTICE OR A GAME. WE SHOULD DO THAT LIKE A PENN STATE LINEBACKER. >> EXCELLENT COVERAGE BY THE INDIANA SECONDARY. THIRD AND NINE. THESE ARE TOUGH TO CONVERT IN THE BULLETS IS COMING. HE DUCKED OFF THE MIDDLE TO THE TIGHT END. HE IS DENIED A FIRST DOWN. >> MAKING THE TACKLE ON THE SPOT AND NOT ALLOWING ANY YARDS AFTER CONTACT FORCING PURDUE. >> THERE IS TIME FOR 22 AND IT NEARLY WENT DOWN AND STAYS ON HIS FEET AND SLIPS >>> THAT YOUNG MAN RATHER BE PLAYING ON THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE OR ANY OTHER WALK OF LIFE. DID HE SAY PURDUE’S JUST ANOTHER GAME. FOURTEENTH PLACE CHARLES LYNCH. 51 YARDS AND NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. A FLOATER INTERCEPTED BY JUSTIN SCOTT. HE STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS WHERE THE 31-YARD LINE IS. FOR NOW THE BOILERMAKERS GET A BREAK. >> AND THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE. >> THE OFFICIALS ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND SEE IF SCOTT STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS. IT LOOKED LIKE HE DID FROM HERE. >> AND ON THE PLAY THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN CALVIN LEWIS OVERTHROWING IT. MAYBE RIGHT IN THERE. DEFINITELY WELL RIGHT IN THAT AREA BACK IN THEIR THAT COULD BE THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE LOOKING TO SEE IF HE STEPS OUT. >> THE INTERCEPTION STANDS. 39-YARD LINE, FIRST DOWN PURDUE. CLOCK OPERATOR SET THE GAME CLOCK 5:46. 5:46. >> AND THE OPTION PLAY AND THEY KEEP IT. CLOSING IN ON FIVE MINUTES HERE IN THE OPENING QUARTER AND A SCORELESS GAME BETWEEN PURDUE AND INDIANA. A CATCH DOWN TO THE 33-YARD LINE TO GREG ORDEN AND WISCONSIN THE BADGERS KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO A BOWL GAME BUT WHICH BOWL GAME. >> TOO HIGH FOR SANDIFER AND HE WAS OPEN THERE AND IT WOULD’VE BEEN ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN. >> ARMSTRONG INSIDE THE 10 AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT HE WILL DO. PURDUE LEADS THIS ALL-TIME SERIES. THEY WON FIVE IN A ROW AND NINE OUT OF THE LAST 10 AND A BIG BURST UP THE MIDDLE FOR THE SENIOR. HE’S GOING TO GET IT AGAIN AND THE BIG FELLOW RUMBLES TO THE 25-YARD LINE AND THAT WILL BE A GAIN OF 2. >> TERRIFIC GUYS CAN PLAY LINEBACKER. >> HE PUTS IT UP DEEP LOOKING AND IT IS CAUGHT AND WHAT A PLAY. HIS SECOND BIG RECEPTION TODAY ALL THE WAY TO THE 35-YARD LINE. FISHER DID NOT PLAY AGAINST WISCONSIN. >> THE PREVIOUS PLAY IS UNDER REVIEW. >> YOU HEARD THAT. TOM QUINN.

HE IS CAUGHT FROM BEHIND UNDER BILL MALORY. >> THEY LOST TO TENNESSEE IN THE PEACH BOWL THAT YEAR. >> LEWIS IS ESCAPING TROUBLE AND A LOT OF ROOM. TO THE 21-YARD LINE. MAN HE CAN RUN. OFFICIALLY OVER 600 YARDS BUT HE WAS NINE AND THERE HE IS INSIDE THE TAN AND IT IS FIRST AND GOAL. HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THE QUARTERBACK DROPPED ON A PLAY LIKE THIS. THAT IS FISHER AND HE MAYBE GOT BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND THAT’S A BIG MAYBE. A GOAL FROM JUST INSIDE THE TAN AND THAT IS FISHER. ON THE OPTION LEWIS TO THE END ZONE. POINT AFTER BY AUSTIN STAAL. THE POINT IS GOOD. I WONDER TOP KICKOFF FIELDING WITH 30 OUT TO THE 42-YARD LINE. IT’S A GREAT TRADITION. WHETHER OR NOT IT CHANGES DOWN THE ROAD, CHARLES, IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. THE FIRST QUARTER TIME OF POSSESSION COMPLETELY DOMINATED. DOWN THE MIDDLE. HE’S GOT HIS TIGHT AND COMING. THAT’S THE FIRST DOWN OF THE INDIANA YARD LINE. FRANK HALLIBURTON AND IT’S OVERTHROWN BY THE QUARTERBACK LOOKING TOWARD DORIAN BRYANT. THEY HAD THE LETDOWN LAST WEEK AGAINST NORTHWESTERN. THERE’S A THROW AND CATCH FOR A FIRST DOWN. DORIAN BRYANT INSIDE THE 25. MY MEN IN MOTION AND SET OFF TO TAYLOR AND A BIG RUN UP THE MIDDLE. HE BREAKS A COUPLE TACKLES INSIDE THE 15-YARD LINE. THEY HAVE TAYLOR THE LOAN BACK. A PAIR OF RECEIVERS AT THE TOP WILL HANDED OFF TO TAYLOR WHO LOST HIS FOOTING BUT APPEARS TO HAVE THE FIRST DOWN. WE SEE THE HOOSIERS AGAINST PURDUE AND PURDUE WAS ON OFFENSE. VERY GOOD. THEY ARE BEST IN THE BIG TEN. NOWHERE TO GO AND SECOND AND 10 COMING. WENT TO THE ROSE BOWL AS BIG 10 CHAMPIONS. THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD LEVEL LAST TIME I CHECKED. >> BENARD. JOE KRAMER. THE INDIANA CROWD FIRED UP AND PLAYING IN FRONT OF A SELLOUT CROWD FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL YEAR. $0.39. HE ROLLS AND THROWS AND SHY OF A FIRST DOWN BUT WAS IT A CAUGHT PASS AT THE 10-YARD LINE BY BRYANT AND IT IS. IT WILL BE A LONG FIELD GOAL TRY IF THE PLAY DOES NOT STAND. THE CHIP SHOT IF IT DOES. >> ONE OF THE BIG OFFICIALS. >> THE PASS IS INCOMPLETE. THE PLAY IS REVERSED. FOURTH-DOWN 22.5-YARD LINE. >> OF COURSE, JOE TILLER ISN’T GOING TO LIKE THAT CALL AGAINST HIS BOILERMAKERS. >> CHRIS SUMMERS HAD AN EXCELLENT YEAR. 14 OF 17 AND THIS IS PUSHED >>> PLAYING FOR THE OLD BUCKET.

PICKED UP BY INDIANA AND THAT IS A FIRST DOWN. BLOCKED BY JAISON TAYLOR. HE TAKES IT TO THIGPEN. HE IS BEING CHASED. IT HAS A BLOCK. STAYS ON HIS FEET. HE RAN ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE FOR GAME TWO. >> LEWIS TO THROW IT. DANGEROUS THROW. THIRD AND EIGHT. AND LEWIS AGAIN FORCED TO RUN OUT OF TROUBLE AND JUST THROWS IT AWAY. >> YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET EXTRA GUYS FOR CALVIN LEWIS ON THE GROUND. IT ONLY HELPS YOUR PASS COVERAGE. >> HE’S ABLE TO GET THIS ONE AWAY AND IT BOUNCES OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 30-YARD LINE. BRYANT IS SWINGING OUT TO HIM. HE IS CLOSE A FIRST DOWN AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT IT AT THE 41- YARD LINE. HANDED OFF TO COREY SHEETS AND NOWHERE TO RUN. WRAPPED UP BY THE JUNIOR FROM CENTERVILLE OHIO. >> WE THINK THE OFFENSE WILL GET IMPATIENT. HE DROPS IT OFF WIDE TO KYLE ADAMS. FIRST DOWN CATCH BY LINESMAN. GOODHEART AND STRONG RUNNING THERE TO GET ANOTHER FIRST DOWN TO THE 30. >> SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE PICKED UP FIVE ADDITIONAL YARDS. >> SWING OUT AGAIN FOR DORIAN BRYANT AND HE’S WRAPPED UP TO THE 24-YARD LINE.

ANOTHER TIGHT END AND THIS IS KELLER AND IT’S CLOSE TO A FIRST DOWN. IT DEPENDS ON THE SPOT. >> FIRST DOWN PURDUE JUST INSIDE THE 20-YARD LINE AND DEFECT THE HANDOFF AND THAT FINGER IS DRAGGED TO THE GROUND AND AGAIN IT IS GREG BROWN. >> THE LOSS OF 11 BACKS HIM UP TO THE 30 BRYANT IS QUICK. STILL ON HIS FEET INSIDE THE 20 DOWN TO THE 19-YARD LINE. THAT GETS IT TO THIRD AND 10 AND THEY HAD 11 YARDS A MOMENT AGO. TAYLOR STANDS IN THERE LOOKING FOR BRIAN AND IT IS BATTED DOWN FROM 40. HE IS ON THE OTHER HALF THIS TIME AND MR. DAVIS, YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE NOSE AGAIN. >> YOU LIKE TO DRAW IT. YOU DON’T WANT TO FADE IT. >> THIS IS JAMES BAILEY.

SCORING OUT ON THE FLAP TO PAYTON WHO COMES BACK IN TO REPLACE THE PIG PEN AND THIS WAY TO THE 23-YARD LINE AND ANOTHER FIRST DOWN. DAN DICKS STEPS UP TO STOP PIGPEN WITH THE HUNDRED YARD GAME. >> THAT LED PEOPLE TO BELIEVE MAYBE, THIS MIGHT BE IT. WE WILL FIND OUT SOON. >> JASON LEWIS WAS TO THROW IT AWAY. >> AND INTELLIGENT PLAY BY THE QUARTERBACK. HE GOT OUTSIDE OF THE TACKLE BOX. THAT’S THE REASON WHY THEY ARE COMING BACK. >> LOOKING TO THE END ZONE AND DID HE GET IT? NO. WHAT AN EFFORT BY ANDREW. HE WAS SCREAMING FOR A FLAG. GOOD COVERAGE BY THE DUO OF MCKINLEY AND JUSTIN SCOTT. THIS KID IS HAVING A PHENOMENAL YEAR. 42-YARD FIELD GOAL TRY AND IT IS RIGHT ON THE CAN AND WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE YEAR. THEY HAD TO BEAT PURDUE AND IT IS PICKED UP ALERTLY BY DESMOND HARDY. >> A LOT OF SUPER FANS IN BIG 10 COUNTRY. >> 2:40 TO PLAY UNTIL HALFTIME. THAT’S STANDARD FOR. THEY NOT GET FREE AND TWICE ON THE SAME PLAY. >> HARD THROWN BALL. >> TRYING TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF THEM AND THEY COME UP AND MAKE TACKLES. >> 13 OF 20 TO 425 YARDS AND WIDE OPEN TO MIDFIELD AND DID THE BALL COME LOOSE? THE HOOSIERS SAY IT DOES. PICKING IT UP IS NICK POPE. FORMER WIDE RECEIVER AND SAFETY. THEY ARE SAYING IT IS INDIANA BALL. >> FIRST DOWN. >> AND I REVERSE MYSELF, BECAUSE I JUST DID. I THOUGHT INITIALLY HE WAS DOWN. >> 2:04 TO GO. THEY HAVE ALL THREE TIMEOUTS AND MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET DOWN THE FIELD. ALTHOUGH LEWIS UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE HAS TO THROW AWAY LEWIS DUMPS IT OFF TO PIGPEN. SHE JUMPED OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 43-YARD LINE. IT APPEARS TO BE A YARD SHY OF THE FIRST DOWN. AND LEWIS FIXED ONE WAY AND ROLLS TOGETHER AND DUMPS IT OFF AND IS DROPPED BY THE TIED AND NICK SEXTON. HE ONLY HAS TWO CATCHES ALL YEAR LONG. >> WE MAY HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND RUN IT AGAIN. >> THERE IN THE SAME PLAY IN THE SAME FORMATION AND THEY WILL LET LEWIS HANDLE THE BALL HERE AND TO PUSH THEM ENOUGH FOR THE FIRST DOWN. >> LET’S SAY CONFIDENCE WOULD BE REALLY HIGH FOR THE COACHING STAFF AND THAT’S ALL I NEED TO SAY ON THAT.

INDIANA HOOSIERS HAVE SO MUCH AT STAKE. >> MARCUS FROM 17 AND HE CAN FLY. A GOOD ANGLE, HOWEVER, UNABLE TO RUN HIM OUT OF BOUNDS TO THE 37-YARD LINE IS THE PURDUE COVERAGE TEAM. WE THANKED THE COACH.

ONLY TWO OUT OF EIGHT CONVERTING ON THIRD DOWN AND THAT’S PRODUCED SO FAR TODAY. RIGHT THROUGH LYMAN’S HANDS. >> NICE COVERAGE BY THE SENIOR CORNERBACK. >> THAT WAS GREAT COVERAGE.
