Hoosiers Outlast Terps, 34-28
10/19/2019 7:36:00 PM | Football
Peyton Ramsey threw for 193 yards and Stevie Scott ran for 108 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Hoosiers.
Ramsey took over for freshman Michael Penix Jr. with 12 minutes left in the second quarter and Indiana ahead 14-7. It was unclear whether Penix was injured; the team provided no details pertaining to his absence.
A 9-yard touchdown run by Scott put Indiana ahead 31-21 in the third quarter, but Maryland answered with a 1-yard TD run by Leake following a 52-yard completion from Tyrrell Pigrome to Tyler Mabry.
It was still 31-28 with 3:42 remaining when Indiana's Juwan Burgess stripped the ball from Leake and pounced on the loose ball at the Maryland 15. That set up a field goal, and the Terrapins got to the Indiana 44 before an interception ended their final threat.
Starting a second straight game for injured starter Josh Jackson, Pigrome completed 17 of 27 passes for a career-high 210 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Penix and Ramsey combined for 280 yards passing in the first half, and each threw a touchdown to help Indiana take a 24-21 lead at the break.
The Hoosiers got their first touchdown on a 28-yard pass from Penix to Donavan Hale and went up 14-7 when Scott ran in from the 3.
Indiana was poised to add to the advantage when Antoine Brooks Jr. picked off a deflected pass in the end zone. Leake then peeled off a 60-yard touchdown run.
Ramsey entered on the following possession and produced a field goal and a 26-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook before halftime.
Sophomore linebacker Chance Campbell led the Terrapin defense with a game-high 10 tackles, including one for loss, and two pass breakups.
Maryland returns to action on Saturday, Oct. 26, when it travels to Minneapolis to take on undefeated Minnesota. That game is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff and will be televised on ESPN.
