Indiana’s special teams really did win the day in an otherwise even matchup against the Hilltoppers. In addition to nailing their own 51-yarder, the special teams unit blocked Western Kentucky’s game-winning attempt earlier in the overtime period. It was a 39-yard attempt.

Head coach Tom Allen raved about Campbell postgame. He knew it was going through the uprights.
