(Bloomington, Indiana) — The Penn State Nittany Lions will be starting the second-half of their 2018 schedule on the road.

The Indiana Hoosiers will host the Lions this afternoon at 3:30.

Offensive Lineman Connor McGovern says it’s time to right the ship having lost their last two games at home:

“It affected all of us,.. that loss. No one wants to lose, especially two in-a-row at home. But this week we’ve just got to come out and just keep working harder,.. and I know Trace (McSorley) is going to step up and be a big time leader,.. be very vocal. That’s how we all have to be this week and be prepared against Indiana,” McGovern said.

Penn State is second in the Big 10 in scoring this season and has had somewhat surprising success running the football,.. averaging 252 yards per game led by quarterback Trace McSorley and running back Miles Sanders.

Indiana has a pass-heavy offense led by quarterback Peyton Ramsey. 

The Hoosiers are 4-3 on the season, but their losses are against Big 10 powerhouses Ohio State, Michigan State and Iowa.

Penn State is 20 and 1 all-time against Indiana
