Last year was an anomaly for both Indiana and Penn State. IU had its best season since 1967. In comparison, PSU flopped to their worst campaign in 16 years. Gamblers saw a potential market correction coming in 2021. There was a sense that Indiana caught betting on College Football lightning in a bottle for 2020. Including a bizarre win over Penn State. Indiana won 36-35 on a controversial 2-point conversion failure by Penn State. Replay review indicated the Nittany Lions barely converted. But it was ruled they did not. Overall, Penn State outgained Indiana 488-211 in the loss.
