But a pair of big third quarter plays, a 79-yard run by Shaun Shivers and an 88-yard kickoff return by Jaylin Lucas,  helped the Hoosiers erase the large deficit on a snowy, windy and frigid day at Spartan Stadium.  An interception by safety Jonathan Haynes continued the rally and led to a Charles Campbell field goal. Then a 9-play, 70-yard IU drive capped off by a 1-yard Josh Henderson touchdown run completed the rally, as Indiana tied the game at 31…

A month later…
