Indiana keeps bowl hopes alive with 41-0 win over Rutgers

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Richard Lagow and Indiana's senior-laden defense weren't going to let a severe storm wash out their farewell party Saturday. So they soaked it in and gave the fans who stuck around one of the most memorable moments of their careers. Lagow threw two touchdown passes and the Hoosiers pitched their first Senior Day shutout since 1958 in a lightning-delayed 41-0 rout over Rutgers. "Coach (Tom) Allen is always emphasizing finish, finish, finish," Lagow said. "We were able to do that today, so it feels good." Indiana (5-6, 2-6 Big Ten) has won two straight to move within one victory of becoming bowl eligible for a school-record tying third straight season. The way the Hoosiers are playing, it's certainly plausible.
