13 WTHR - Indianapolis News |Upset gives Hoosiers program major boost
Member Center:
Bloomington - Kellen Lewis and James Hardy gave Indiana its biggest football victory in almost two decades on Saturday as the Hoosiers upset 15th-ranked Iowa 31-28. It was the highest-ranked opponent the Hoosiers (4-3, 2-1) beat since a win over Ohio State in 1987.
Players celebrated by running to the student section and jumping into the crowd.
Now, the Hoosiers must prove that the victory was more than a fluke, that it could be a defining moment in Indiana's latest rebuilding project.
Senior safety Will Meyers says "it's huge." He says the win shows the Hoosiers are as talented as anyone out there.
The Hoosiers (4-3, 2-1) get to test Meyers' theory next week at number one-ranked Ohio State.
