Early betting odds:

On Sunday afternoon, the betting odds for week 10 of the college football season were released. Penn State coming off a 44-31 home loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes will look to bounce back from their second loss of the season this upcoming Saturday against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Vegas likes Penn State's chances in doing so early, as the Nittany Lions opened as a -13.0 to -13.5 point favorite on Sunday depending on where you looked. That line has only moved slightly since the odds were released, all in the Nittany Lions' favor towards the -14 and -14.5 marks.

The early over/under for the game was set at 51.5 total points, that number has moved to 53 in the hours since the line was released.

Kickoff time and television assignment:

As we posted yesterday here on Nittany Nation, the kickoff for the Nittany Lions trip to Bloomington is set for 3:30 p.m and will be televised on ABC. The crew calling the game has yet to be announced.

Penn State vs Indiana history:

All-time Penn State holds a 23-2 record in the series between the Nittany Lions and the Hoosiers. Both of the Nittany Lions' losses in the series have come in Bloomington in 2013 and 2020. Last season, Penn State dominated at home by a final score of 24-0.

Indiana this season:

After a 3-0 start with wins over Illinois, Idaho, and Western Kentucky, the Hoosiers have lost each of their last five games. They last played two weeks ago against Rutgers in a 24-17 loss in Piscataway. Despite the five straight losses, the Hoosiers have been competitive for the most part, playing teams close often for the first half before eventually seeing their opponent pull away as the game progresses.

The Hoosiers' offense this season is averaging 24.5 points per game behind a quality passing attack. Missouri quarterback transfer Connor Bazelak is averaging 265.3 yards per game and has 12 touchdowns on the season but has also thrown nine interceptions. The Hoosiers have not been able to run the ball at all this season, on nearly 30 attempts per game, they're averaging just 2.7 yards per carry and 80.4 yards per game.

Defensively, the Hoosiers have been beaten through the air quite a bit, surrendering nearly 260 passing yards per game and allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete nearly 64% of all their passes. Their run defense has been solid allowing just 3.6 yards per carry.
