Indiana ran the play to perfection on a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter. The conversion extended the Hoosiers' lead to 14 points.
The opportunity for the two-point play came thanks to Stevie Scott III's second rushing touchdown of the game.

Scott finished the game with 48 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns.
The Hoosiers ended up winning the game by a score of 34-24 and now hold a 1-0 record on the season. Ball State is now 0-1.
Though this wasn't quite Foles-ian, we saw at least some shades of Big Ten greatness here.
