CFB: No. 7 Penn State pulls way for win over Indiana

By GENARO C. ARMAS

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — No. 7 Penn State overcame a sluggish start to move a step closer to the Rose Bowl.

Derrick Williams ran for one score and caught a touchdown pass, Daryll Clark threw for 240 yards and two scores in an uneven outing, and a stifling defense held Indiana to six first downs in the Nittany Lions' 34-7 victory today.

Heavy underdogs coming into Beaver Stadium, Indiana (3-8, 1-6 Big Ten) trailed just 10-7 at halftime in large part because of miscues by Penn State (10-1, 6-1). One drive ended after Clark fumbled at the Indiana 1, while Kevin Kelly missed a 40-yard field goal to foil another effort.
