“I think we played more as a team today than we have in the past,” running back Darius Willis said. “We believe that when we’re on the same page and play with the intangibles that Indiana football is built on like discipline, toughness, execution, everybody being accountable of their job and everybody being supportive of their teammates, that we’re real tough to beat if we’re all on the same page.”
Indiana started off with a solid 68-yard drive that resulted in a 1 yd Willis TD run. Then when FCS NW got the ball back, they quickly turned an opening drive into a 31 yd pick 6 by Beckum.
“I think third and whatever to get out of the gates there with defensive points really set the tone for the remainder of the game," head coach Robb Reed said. “That was a huge play in the game, especially early in the game.”
Indiana started off the second quarter with Mitchel Evans first touchdown reception of the season, and only minutes later, the Hoosiers were on the board for the fourth time with a Freeland 30 yd FG.
After linebacker Leon Beckum scooped up a fumble by the QB, his second defensive score of the game, the Hoosiers knew the remaining minutes would be used to try out some new formations for the Pistol in hopes of preparing for a successfull Big Ten season.
FCS managed one TD, a 30 yd pass to a streaking TE in the redzone, which cut the lead to 52, but that was all the lights they'd put on the board this evening.
“I think it’s always important to be able to start fast,” Reed said. “You want to finish strong, which we were able to do today. We started fast in the game, and that was good.”
On the defensive side, Thomas and Finch led the way in solo tackles with 5. In total tackles, Beckum had seven, with an INT and Fumble recovery. Black Jr. had the only sack of the game too. In two weeks, the Hoosiers travel to Bowling Green, KY. to take on the Hilltoppers. Willis said the opening game will give the team momentum going on the road for the first time this season.
“I think it helps definitely because we should be proud of the way we played today,” he said. “We beat a team we were supposed to beat out there today, but we still have lots of room for improvement in all aspects of our game.”
