Idaho goes for two and tries a double-pass back to McCoy, but he's slammed to the ground by Tiawan Mullen. INDIANA 29, IDAHO 16
11:23 p.m. Idaho's offense brings the ball across midfield, and they'll need to score quickly to have a shot in this one, as the clock ticks below 10 minutes remaining. Anthony Woods gives Idaho a first down with a 9-yard run up the middle.

10:56 p.m. – Idaho goes with three run plays to Roshaun Johnson, who generates seven yards in total. Dasan McCullough stuffed him at the line of scrimmage to force an Idaho punt, and Indiana takes over at its own 28-yard line.
10:53 p.m. – Bazelak starts Indiana's next drive with an 18-yard connection with Cam Camper to bring the Hoosiers across midfield. Bazelak then hits tight end AJ Barner in the middle of the field, who bounces off a few Idaho defenders and runs 43 yards for a touchdown. INDIANA 16, IDAHO 10
10:45 p.m. – A bad snap forces McCoy to fall on the ball in the end zone, resulting in a safety. Indiana will take points however it can get them, and that certainly adds to the momentum the Hoosiers generated with that last offensive possession. After a disastrous first half, Indiana is within a point just over five minutes into the second half. IDAHO 10, INDIANA 9
10:41 p.m. – Bazelak finds D.J. Matthews on back-to-back passes for his first two catches of the night. Donaven McCulley comes in at quarterback and takes a draw up the middle for a 4-yard touchdown run.

10:32 p.m. – Shaun Shivers picks up 31 yards up the middle to bring Indiana across midfield. Facing third-and-1, Indiana calls a timeout. Bazelak hands the ball to Shivers, who plows ahead for an Indiana first down.
10:29 p.m. – True freshman linebacker/edge rusher/athlete Dasan McCullough comes up with his second sack of the night to force an Idaho punt. In what's been a terrible overall game for Indiana so far, McCullough has been very impressive.
10:10 p.m. – Indiana heads into halftime down 10-0. The Hoosiers reached the red zone twice, but zero points to show. The offense has generated just 110 yards of offense, and Bazelak is 6-for-17 with 49 yards and an interception. An overall abysmal half of offensive football for Indiana. The defense is keeping the Hoosiers in the game, but Tom Allen and Walt Bell will have to find some offensive solutions in the halftime locker room.
9:57 p.m. – Bazelak looked for Camper deep down the field, but his pass is intercepted by Tommy McCormick at the Idaho 3-yard line. The Indiana offense is really struggling as halftime nears. Bazelak is 6-for-17 for 49 yards and an interception.
9:55 p.m. – Freshman Jaylin Lucas jets 38 yards down the field to give Indiana good field position at the 40-yard line. That's the first time we've really seen Lucas this season, and he showed the speed and quickness his coaches and teammates raved about all throughout fall camp.
9:50 p.m. – Dasan McCullough yanks McCoy to the ground for a 6-yard sack, setting up third-and-17. Idaho picks up five yards before sending out the field goal unit. Idaho kicker Ricardo Chavez connects on a 29-yard field goal. IDAHO 10, INDIANA 0
9:49 p.m. – Facing a third-and-4, McCoy hands the ball to Roshaun Johnson, who is stopped short of the line to gain. The Idaho offense stays on the field, sending a direct snap to Johnson, whose pass is intercepted by Tiawan Mullen. Mullen runs the ball 69 yards to the Idaho 23-yard line, but the interception is called back for defensive pass interference on Indiana's Bryant Fitzgerald. Idaho's trickery nearly ends in disaster, but the Vandals keep the ball after the penalty.
9:37 p.m. – A quick three and out forces Indiana to punt. Jermaine Jackson runs out of bounds after a 27-yard return, and the Vandals will start their next possession on the Indiana 44-yard line.
9:33 p.m. – Gevani McCoy feels pressure from the Indiana pass rush, steps up in the pocket and the middle of the field is wide open. McCoy picks up 17 yards to convert the third down. Aaron Casey and Dasan McCullough combine for a sack to give Idaho 3rd down and 17. McCoy's pass goes incomplete, and the Vandals are forced to punt.
9:28 p.m. – Indiana running back Josh Henderson fumbles the ball near midfield, and Idaho recovers on the Indiana 45-yard line. Missed opportunities in the red zone and now a turnover leads to a rough start for the Indiana offense.
9:23 p.m. – Idaho's offense stays on the field for 4th and 2 from the Indiana 14-yard line. McCoy completes a quick slant to Terez Trainer near the goal line to pick up the first down. McCoy hits Jordan Dwyer on a quick pass, and Dwyer takes it in for a touchdown. IDAHO 7, INDIANA 0
9:15 p.m. – McCoy finds Michael Graves for a first-down pickup on third and four. A false start on the next play pushed the Vandals back to the Indiana 27-yard line. McCoy had tight end Connor Whitney open in the end zone, but it's overthrown. We have a 0-0 tie at the end of the first quarter. Bazelak is 4-for-12 for 35 yards. Shivers gained 34 yards on eight carries. Cam Camper and Josh Henderson each have one catch for 11 yards.
9:10 p.m. – Gevani McCoy hits Jermaine Jackson for a 48-yard gain down the middle of the field. Jackson could have scored, but his momentum brought him to the ground.
9:05 p.m. – Bazelak looked for Donaven McCulley on a fade to the corner of the end zone, but it's under thrown. The Hoosiers go for it on fourth down, and Shaun Shivers is stuffed. That's two red-zone trips with zero points to show for Indiana.
9:01 p.m. – Bazelak completes an 8-yard pass to Emery Simmons, who takes a big hit but is able to convert the first down. Bazelak had AJ Barner open in the middle of the field near the 5-yard line, but the throw might have been a second early as Barner wasn't ready for it. Bazelak's third-down attempt to Camper goes incomplete, and Indiana sends the kicking unit out again. Charles Campbell's kick from 28 yards is no good, but a defensive holding call gives Indiana new life at the 5-yard line.
8:56 p.m. – Idaho is flagged for false start, giving the Vandals a third and 14 deep in their own territory. Quarterback Gevani McCoy's screen pass to Jordan Dwyer goes for 10 yards, forcing the Vandals to punt. Jaylin Williams on the tackle there. Another bad punt from Idaho gives Indiana the ball at the Idaho 40-yard line. Good field position for the Hoosiers for a second drive in a row.
8:50 p.m. – Bazelak's 11-yard completion to Cam Camper isn't enough for a first down, so Indiana brings on Charles Campbell for a field goal try. Campebll's 32-yard attempt is no good, and the Hoosiers miss an opportunity to take an early lead.
8:47 p.m. – Indiana goes for it on fourth down, and Shaun Shivers makes a guy miss for a first down. A nice jump cut from Shivers, who finishes through the Idaho defender to bring the Hoosiers into the red zone.
8:41 p.m. – Cam Jones and Tiawan Mullen bottle up the Idaho run, and the Vandals will punt on their first drive, too. D.J. Matthews lets the punt bounce, and the Hoosiers will take over with great field position on the Idaho 39-yard line.
8:37 p.m. – Shivers goes for a strong 12-yard run, but Indiana punts a few plays later after Bazelak is forced to throw the ball out of bounds. Idaho takes over at its own six-yard line after a nice tackle by Christian Harris on special teams.
8:35 p.m. – The opening Idaho kickoff goes out of bounds, so Indiana will start the first drive of the game from the 35-yard line. Connor Bazelak, Shaun Shivers, D.J. Matthews, Cam Camper, AJ Barner are the starting skill position players. First play is a false start by right guard Tim Weaver.
8:30 p.m. – Captains Tiawan Mullen, Devon Matthews, AJ Barner and Jack Tuttle walk out to midfield for the coin flip. Idaho calls tails, wins the toss and defers to the second half. Indiana will receive the opening kickoff. Here we go.
8:25 p.m. – The student section is bringing the energy inside Memorial Stadium minutes before kickoff, but the rest of the stadium is understandably empty as the rain comes pouring down. We could be in line for an odd game tonight.
8:05 p.m. – We're about 30 minutes until kickoff, and the rain is really starting to come down. Indiana ran the ball 26 times for 32 yards last week, and if the rain continues like this, the Hoosiers will have to make significant improvements in that area to win this game.
7:55 p.m. – Defensive end James Head Jr. missed last week against Illinois, and he remains out for this game. Beau Robbins started in his place last week and recorded a crucial sack on Illinois' final drive – he'll start again in Head's place. Defensive back Jonathan Haynes is also out tonight.
7:40 p.m. – Taking a look at the pregame depth chart, West Texas A&M transfer Parker Hanna, as expected, will start at right tackle to replace Matthew Bedford, who is out for the season with a torn ACL. Redshirt freshman Joshua Sales Jr. is listed behind Hanna on the depth chart. Tom Allen also mentioned Khalil Benson and Bray Lynch could see expanded roles – or at least be the next men up – in this game.
7:15 p.m. – Players are back on the field warming up. Indiana will wear red pants, red jerseys and red helmets tonight. Looks like the rain has stopped, and we are on track for the 8:35 ET kickoff.
6:57 p.m. – Idaho's Week 1 opponent Washington State defeats Wisconsin 17-14. Idaho was driving down the field in the fourth quarter with a chance to beat Washington State last week, but ultimately lost 24-17. This matchup between Indiana and Idaho could be more highly contested than I thought.
6:45 p.m. – Kickoff between Indiana and Idaho has been pushed back to 8:35 p.m. ET due to "severe weather in the immediate area that necessitates suspension of the event."
