IU goes on road, beats No. 18 Missouri, 31-27

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Wait 27 years, and you're liable to see anything from Indiana University football.

D'Angelo Roberts dove 3 yards for a touchdown with 22 seconds left, lifting the Hoosiers to a 31-27 upset victory over 18th-ranked Missouri on Saturday.

The score was set up on a 44-yard screen pass from quarterback Nate Sudfeld to Tevin Coleman. A face-mask penalty advanced the ball to the 7, and Roberts scored two plays later.

Coleman missed much of the first half with an undisclosed injury but returned to make game-changing plays in the second. He carried 19 times for 132 yards and caught three passes for 57 yards.

The Tigers (3-1) were the highest-ranked team beaten by Indiana on the road since a 31-10 victory at Ohio State in 1987. Indiana had lost 36 in a row on the road against Top 20 opponents.

Indiana (2-1) returns home to play its next two games against Maryland and North Texas.

Andrew Baggett's 40-yard field goal sent the Tigers ahead 27-24 with 2:20 left.

After being thwarted on their first three second-half possessions, Indiana scored on an Indiana-like drive: 82 yards, two plays.

Coleman broke through for 49 yards to the Missouri 33. On the next play, Sudfeld hit freshman J-Shun Harris in stride for a touchdown that sent the Hoosiers ahead 24-17 with 54 seconds left in the third quarter.

Missouri tied it at 24 with a 71-yard drive capped by Maty Mauk's 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Sean Culkin with 13:20 left.

The Hoosiers had fourth-and-2 at the Missouri 48 with less than seven minutes left but declined to go for it. Erich Toth's 40-yard punt put Mizzou back on its own 8. Missouri then drove for the go-ahead field goal.

A 23-yard field goal by Aaron Del Grosso as time expired in the first half allowed Indiana to pull into a 17-17 tie.

The Hoosiers nearly took a halftime lead on Sudfeld's third-and-goal pass from the 6 to Shane Wynn, who caught the ball as he slid out of bounds. The play was reviewed, affirming the original call of incomplete.

Indiana scored first on Coleman's 1-yard run with 5:18 left in the first quarter. It was the 12th consecutive game in which he has scored a touchdown, tying the school record set by Anthony Thompson (1988-89).

Although the Hoosiers performed well on defense, their vulnerability to long plays continued. After forcing Missouri into third-and-17 from its own 13, the Tigers went 42 yards on a Russ Hansbrough run and 45 yards on Mauk's scoring pass to Jimmy Hunt. That left the score tied at 7 after one quarter.

Indiana reclaimed the lead on an uncharacteristic 16-play, 75-yard drive that consumed 5½ minutes. The Hoosiers twice converted on fourth down, including a 1-yard touchdown by D'Angelo Roberts that pushed them ahead 14-7.

Hansbrough scored again, this time from 68 yards, to pull Mizzou into a 14-14 tie.

Later, an Indiana blitz caused Mauk to throw incomplete on third-and-goal from the 9. Andrew Baggett's 27-yard field goal sent the Tigers ahead 17-14.

The even play of the first half was reflected in total offense: Missouri 269 yards, Indiana 257.
