Hoosiers trying to get better handle on fumbling woes
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Indiana Hoosiers spent the first eight games taking expert care of the football.
Now, suddenly, they can’t seem to get a grip on it.
Over the past two weeks, the Hosiers have fumbled nine times, losing all five Saturday to fuel Penn State’s rally from a 10-point, third-quarter deficit for a 45-31 victory. The slide from being one of the nation’s best in turnover margin to second-worst in the Big Ten (minus-6) has befuddled Hoosiers players, coaches and fans alike.
