MINNEAPOLIS -- The IU football team had its season-long goal of bowl eligibility within its grasp Saturday. But rather than clinching their first bowl game berth since 1993, the Hoosiers suffered one of their worst defeats of the season, a 63-26 loss on the road to Minnesota.

IU hoping to secure NCAA Tournament bid despite loss

·

For the IU women's soccer team, history needs to be enough in the eyes of the NCAA. The Hoosiers (9-7-4, 5-4-1 Big Ten), who compiled a 13-game unbeaten streak from Sept. 1 through Oct. 13, finished their season Thursday night with a 2-1 loss to Michigan in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. The 13-game unbeaten streak was one short of the program record of 14, but after the streak, IU ended its season with a five-game losing streak.

Wilmont's energy keys IU win

·

No one told Rod Wilmont that Sunday's game was supposed to be an exhibition. In the first game under his new coach, Wilmont was his old self -- jumping at steals, flying into the stands, even careening into Kelvin Sampson as he raced down the sideline in hot pursuit of a loose ball.

With his team just one win away from clinching its first bowl game berth in 13 years, junior fullback Josiah Sears knows IU's focus has changed. "If it hasn't, I think there's something wrong with us," Sears said. "Because we have (a bowl game) within our grasp. We're going to have to screw up to not go now."

Colts, Patriots continue rivalry with showdown Sunday

·

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady. The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts versus the New England Patriots, who have only one loss. The hype versus the reality. There are plenty of subplots to Sunday night's game between two of the NFL's best teams -- Adam Vinatieri's first against the team for which he kicked two Super-Bowl-winning field goals, Manning's struggles against the Patriots and Brady's growing comfort with his new receivers.

One-way ticket to the top

·

Kellen Lewis never thought he'd put up such big numbers so soon. Coming into the season, the freshman quarterback was not even expecting to play. "When I came here, Blake was only a redshirt sophomore," Lewis said, referring to junior quarterback Blake Powers. "I envisioned having to wait in line and maybe junior year come in and take control of the offense. But eight touchdown passes in two home games? I definitely wasn't expecting that." Lewis didn't have to wait in line. In IU's second game of the season against Ball State, with Powers on the sidelines nursing a leg injury and senior Graeme McFarland knocked out with a shoulder injury, the Hoosiers turned to their third-string quarterback. And in his first collegiate game, Lewis did not disappoint. With his team down 23-7 at halftime, the redshirt freshman led IU all the way back from the deficit, throwing for 228 yards and a touchdown with 88 rushing yards and a rushing score.
