IU-Penn State Postgame Show: Role Reversal as IU’s Offense Bails Out Leaky Defense

On Wednesday night, Indiana built 12-point second half lead to Penn State before blowing it and almost losing in regulation. But Rob Phinisee bailed Indiana out with some key defense at the end of regulation before hitting the game-winner in overtime as the Hoosiers survived.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, Andy, and Scott

Among the topics discussed:

— Rob and Al's big bounceback night
— What was wrong with Indiana's defense?
— The improvements, and importance, of Armaan and Trey
— What was up with Trayce?
— Why Joey Brunk's prolonged absence is difficult for Indiana to absorb
— What Jerome did tonight that we need to see more of

We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls. All of that, and more, on this edition of The Assembly Call.
