BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Greetings from Memorial Stadium where the early morning sun is directly in our faces and a football game is scheduled to kick off in about two hours.

This stadium, like Illinois' home venue, is currently under construction. Here the north end zone stands are non-existent and there's no net behind the field goal post down that end, which will lead to extra points that land in the construction zone amid dirt and cement. Interestingly, Illinois and Indiana also both play in places called Memorial Stadium.

Well, Mark and I are here and we'll be providing occasional updates throughout the game. We're going to go out and say hello to former Collegian writer and NFL Hall-of-Famer Ira Miller, who is outside in the parking lot tailgating with our news adviser John Harvey. We'll be back for the game.

Kickoff

A little news for you to start the game. Navorro Bowman ran out for warm-ups looking healed from his right ankle injury. Right guard Mike Lucian did not make the road trip. Freshman Stefen Wisniewski will start in his place.

INJURY UPDATE: Lucian did not make the trip because he suffered a "mild" concussion last week against Wisconsin and did not practice during the week, Penn State sports information director Jeff Nelson said at halftime.

11:34 left in the first quarter, IU - 7, PSU - 0

Indiana begins the game with a well put-together 10-play, 80 yard scoring drive. IU quarterback Kellen Lewis found James Hardy in the end zone. Hardy already has three catches for 38 yards and his touchdown tied the Indiana school record for touchdown receptions (30). He's only a junior.

Injury note: Defensive tackle Jared Odrick, already playing with a broken right hand and a cast, was helped off the field with a right leg injury and carted off to the locker room after the touchdown.

6:44, IU - 7, PSU - 0

After Penn State's first drive ended with an ugly third-and-2 run near midfield, Indiana went three-and-out as Lewis tried to find Hardy on a third-down pass. The Nittany Lions got the ball back but quickly gave it back when Anthony Morelli threw an interception. The deep pass came out wobbly off Morelli's hand and IU safety Nick Polk had time to camp out and wait for the pick in the end zone. It was apparently intended for Deon Butler IU will begin on the 20.

End of the first quarter, IU - 7, PSU - 0

IU punted to PSU and the Lions are in the middle of an extended drive at the IU 15 yard line. Morelli has found Butler, Derrick Williams and a lot of Jordan Norwood early on. Rodney Kinlaw just broke a nice run on a play with Graham Zug and Chris Bell (his first play) in at wideout.

14:44, IU - 7, PSU - 6

On the second play of the second quarter, Morelli found Golden on a 13-yard touchdown pass to cap the Lions longest drive of the season, 13 plays, 90 yards. Kevin Kelly missed the extra point.

7:41, IU - 14, PSU 6

The Hoosiers put together another convincing drive as Lewis again showed why he's one of the Big Ten's most dynamic playmakers. He helped improvise a 7-play, 83-yard touchdown drive that culminated on a 30-yard touchdown pass to Thigpen.

3:39, IU - 14, PSU 13
Evan Royster scored on a 2-yard run to narrow the gap for Penn State. The Lions leaned on the pass early in the drive, and really, through most of the game, until the end of this drive. Either Royster or Matt Hahn rushed the ball on the last five plays of the game.

:39, PSU - 20, IU -14
Jordan Norwood tied a career-high for receptions already on a 12-yard touchdown strike from Morelli. Wasn't a perfect drive -- Morelli overthrew Royster on an easy screen play -- but it could be useful on the momentum meter as the Lions head into halftime.

Halftime: PSU 20, IU 14

10:21 PSU - 23, IU - 14

Penn State began the second half with the ball and was forced to punt by IU return man Tracy Porter bobbled the return and PSU recovered on the IU 12-yard line. The Lions failed to find the end zone but Kevin Kelly knocked through a 22-yarder, his 50th field goal of his career, tying the Penn State school record.

5:30 PSU - 23, IU - 17

Indiana got a little redemption following a Royster fumble at the PSU 24. The Hoosiers' managed just a field goal, too. So looks like the last two turnovers cancel out. Each team got three points out of them.

End of third quarter, PSU- 23, IU - 17
After a PSU punt, Indiana was driving to go ahead but PSU defensive end Maurice Evans hit Lewis, who fumbled. The ball bounced off what appeared to be Lewis' foot and into Evans' hands . He chugged 55 yards all the way to the IU 13. This is a huge turning point. Indiana was looking like they would make this interesting, and while it still is, Penn State has much more breathing room now than it would have. The Lions are at the IU 7 as the quarter ends.

14:23 PSU - 26, IU - 17

Kelly converts again after Penn State decided to run on third-and-5 and didn't get the first inside the 10.

12:30, PSU - 29, IU - 17

Kelly hit a chipshot field goal after another turnover by Lewis, who let the ball squirt loose with his Evans wrapped around his legs.

8:06, PSU -29, IU - 24
Hardy snagged a fade over Justin King's head in the end zone on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Lewis to cap a long drive.
