A new entry etched in the IU record books was somewhat lost in the ugliness that was Indiana’s 54-7 loss to Ohio State on Saturday in Bloomington. Indiana redshirt senior tight end Peyton Hendershot became IU’s tight ends receptions leader against the Buckeyes. He led the Hoosiers on the night with five catches for 35 yards and he scored the lone Hoosier touchdown, a 12-yarder in the back of the end zone on the play that quarterback Jack Tuttle suffered a foot injury. “You can see how good our offense can be with that first drive,” Hendershot said after the…

Donaven McCulley has been taking reps in practice as the backup quarterback since Michael Penix went down three weeks ago. But that wasn’t enough time to have him ready for the challenge that awaited on Saturday night when Jack Tuttle went down. McCulley’s role has changed quite a bit since he was the third-string quarterback and effectively serving as the scout team QB when Penix was still healthy. That scout team role helped to ensure that he was still getting reps, but it was mostly in the opponents system rather than Indiana’s. That dynamic, coupled with just how little football…
