Penn State 45, Indiana 22: Matt McGloin threw four touchdown passes - three to sophomore Allen Robinson - as the host Nittany Lions overcame a slow start to improve to 16-0 all-time against the Hoosiers.

McGloin's 45 career touchdown passes are the most in Penn State history and his 3,073 yards this season also set a school standard. Robinson, who matched a career high with 10 catches and had a career-best 197 yards Saturday, set a Nittany Lions' record with 73 receptions this season.

McGloin finished 22-of-32 for 397 yards and Zach Zwinak rushed for 133 yards and scored two touchdowns for Penn State (7-4, 5-2 Big Ten).

Cameron Coffman was 33-of-59 for a career-high 454 yards and two touchdowns for Indiana (4-7, 2-5), which missed out on bowl participation for the fifth straight season and 18th time in the last 20 years. Shane Wynn matched a career best with 12 catches for a career-high 108 yards for the Hoosiers.

Robinson's first touchdown catch - a 26-yarder - came on fourth-and-3 and put the Nittany Lions ahead 7-0 in the first quarter. His 53-yarder on a wide receiver screen was one of two scores in the second quarter and gave Penn State the lead for good 14-10.

Penn State led 28-13 at halftime after McGloin's 16-yard touchdown pass to Zwinak with 31 seconds remaining. The score was set up by a spectacular interception at the Penn State 38 by linebacker Gerald Hodges, who jumped in the air and batted down Coffman's pass at short range before making a diving catch.
