What Tom Allen said following Indiana's win over WKU
With a strong start, and strong finish, Indiana held on to top Western Kentucky, 33-31 on Saturday night in Bowling Green.
The Hoosiers jumped out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but WKU’s up-tempo offense kept the Hilltoppers in the game. With 458 yards of offense in the game, they outscored IU 24-12 throughout the second and third quarters.
The fourth quarter saw IU hang on to a 26-24 lead, and an 86-yard touchdown drive took 6:19 off the clock to put the Hoosiers up 10. WKU put up a late score, but IU held on to go to 2-2 on the season.
After the game, Hoosiers head coach Tom Allen had some comments about his team.
Allen on Carr: "He has an amazing attitude … He just has a great heart and he cares about people. He's a great fit for us."

Allen: "Don't know about D.J. for sure, but it's his knee, but it doesn't look good." Said it looks like Jaylin Williams has a concussion and will have to go through protocol. He hit his head when he was trying to tackle the receiver on the big throw.

Allen said the biggest thing Penix did was relax and just play football. "It didn't surprise me. I knew he needed to play well for us to have a chance to win tonight."
