Hoosiers rally to topple No. 18 Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- D'Angelo Roberts scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds remaining and Nate Sudfeld passed for 252 yards and a touchdown to help Indiana upset No. 18 Missouri, 31-27, yesterday.

After giving up 10 consecutive points to Missouri in the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers (2-1) traveled 75 yards on six plays to reclaim the lead. Tevin Coleman ran 44 yards to the Missouri 15-yard line to set up the winning score.

Coleman finished with 132 yards on 19 carries.

Maty Mauk completed 28 of 47 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns and Russell Hansbrough gained 119 yards on the ground for Missouri (3-1). The Tigers play at South Carolina next week to start a stretch of eight consecutive games against Southeastern Conference opponents.

Indiana entered the game as a double-digit underdog after losing, 45-42, at Bowling Green last week, prompting coach Kevin Wilson to want his team to "play with our hair on fire." The team gained 493 total yards but was just 1-for-14 on third-down conversions.

The Hoosiers were 2-for-2 on fourth-down conversions, though, and were helped by a pass interference penalty on Missouri's John Gibson during the final drive. Facing fourth-and-6 at his own 29-yard line, Sudfeld attempted to find Dominique Booth across the middle, but Gibson wrapped his arms around the receiver before he could make the catch.

Indiana also recorded 11 tackles for loss, hamstringing Missouri for most of the first three quarters. The Tigers finished with 498 total yards, including 145 in the final 15 minutes.

Missouri's Andrew Baggett kicked a 40-yard field goal with 2:20 remaining to cap a 70-yard drive for a 27-24 lead after Mauk found Sean Culkin for a 1-yard touchdown run with 13:20 left to tie the game.
