STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Linebacker Navorro Bowman had a
73-yard interception return for a touchdown and Evan Royster scored
twice as No. 19 Penn State overcame four first-half turnovers to
beat Indiana 31-20 on Saturday.
Senior quarterback Daryll Clark threw for one score and ran for
another in his last game at Beaver Stadium, but also threw two
interceptions.
The Hoosiers have made a habit this season of hanging tough
early in road games before letting leads slip away, and it happened
again against the Nittany Lions.
Penn State (9-2, 5-2 Big Ten) tried to help Indiana (4-7, 1-6)
by fumbling away two punt returns in the first half. Ben Chappell's
26-yard touchdown pass gave Indiana a 10-0 lead in the first
quarter.
But Penn State settled down after halftime. Bowman's
interception return of a Chappell pass gave the Nittany Lions a
17-10 lead in the third quarter.
