The Indiana Hoosiers took some big steps in rebranding their football program last season.

Now they’re looking to build on the momentum.

After posting its first eight-win season and first winning league record since 1993, Indiana starts this season chasing a rare upset of No. 8 Penn State in the season opener.

Penn State provides a prime example of previous close calls they failed to close out.

While Indiana has lost 22 of 23 games in the series — including six straight — the last two were competitive, one-possession games.
