3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 1

23-16 was Indiana’s margin after backup quarterback Grant Wilson hit Charlie Becker for a 25-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime, then the Hoosiers stopped Minnesota’s reply.
60-yard field goals swung the final seconds: Luke Drzewiecki put Minnesota ahead 16-13 with 19 seconds left, and Paddy McAteer answered as time expired after Becker’s 33-yard catch.
Grant Wilson replaced Josh Hoover at halftime after the starter took a big hit on his second interception; Wilson threw for 156 yards and a score, while Becker finished with eight catches for 149 yards.
Two late replay reviews erased potential turning points, wiping out a go-ahead touchdown pass and nullifying an interception that would have given Indiana prime field position.
Indiana, the defending national champion ranked No. 4, survived its second straight overtime game after last week’s 13-6 win at Michigan and now gets a bye before hosting USC.
