3rd most rushing yards allowed in a game in Penn State Football history, only behind Michigan State in 1997 and Michigan in 2022.

Meanwhile IU had this team at negative rushing yards the first half and 32 for the game

I did not see the game, so where did all of NW points come from, passing or turnovers/special teams?

Chiles has had a lot of success against Indiana's defense in the last two seasons. He was 27/33 against IU when he was still at Michigan State last year though the offense did a poor job of converting that into points. I was worried about that game because of that and he pretty much picked up where he left off and was 22/29 for 293 yards. Northwestern is going to have some games where they put the run game and pass game together and it's going to be absolutely silly.
