Purdue holds on to beat Indiana State 20-14

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Indiana State is 0-14 all-time against the Big Ten. The Sycamores nonetheless have Purdue's undivided attention heading into its home opener Saturday. Two years ago, Purdue struggled to hold on for a 20-14 victory against Indiana State in West Lafayette. These Sycamores are ranked 21st in the FCS coaches' poll and piled up 11 tackles for loss, including three sacks, in a 52-17 season-opening victory against Butler. Purdue coach Darrell Hazell, whose team has lost seven in a row after the 41-31 setback last week at Marshall, is concerned about Indiana State's aggressive defense. "Indiana State is going to come with every blitz known to man," Hazell said. "They play an odd front, which you don't see a whole lot. They will change the coverage down by down.
