at No. 12 Indiana 27, Maryland 11: Stevie Scott III ran for three touchdowns and the Hoosiers had three interceptions, three sacks and a game-changing safety in a win over the Terrapins. Freshman Tim Baldwin Jr. ran for a seasonhigh 106 yards for Indiana, which has won four consecutive at home. The safety midway through the third quarter gave the Hoosiers a 9-3 lead, and Indiana extended the margin to 17-3 on the ensuing possession. Scott scored on a one-yard plunge and backup quarterback Jack Tuttle completed his first throw of the day — a two-point conversion to Peyton Hendershot. Tuttle also led the Hoosiers to two fourthquarter scores after replacing injured starter Michael Penix Jr. Taulia Tagovailoa had two passes intercepted in the red zone for Maryland.
Penn State 27, at Michigan 17: Sean Clifford threw for 163 yards and scored one of the Nittany Lions’ three rushing touchdowns, and Penn State finally broke its winless skid to start the season. Keyvone Lee and Will Levis also ran for touchdowns, and Penn State never trailed in this matchup of proud programs that have struggled mightily in this pandemic-shortened season. Hassan Haskins ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns for Michigan, but the Wolverines never found much of a consistent rhythm offensively. Rutgers 37, at Purdue 30: Backup quarterback Johnny Langan sparked a second-half comeback to lead the Scarlet Knights to a victory over the Boilermakers. Langan completed all four passing attempts for 95 yards and ran for 95 yards in 21 carries. Langan took over for Artur Sitkowski for most of the second half. Sitkowski got the nod because starter Noah Vedral was injured in the last game.
