No. 4 Indiana defeated Western Kentucky 38-0 to improve to 3-0, extend its winning streak to 19 games and complete a perfect nonconference schedule for the third consecutive season. The Hoosiers overcame a sluggish first half by scoring 24 unanswered points after halftime, while their defense recorded its second consecutive shutout and has not allowed a point since the third quarter of the opener. Josh Hoover passed for 273 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover, Lee Beebe Jr. scored twice on the ground, and Turbo Richard rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown. Western Kentucky threatened at times, including a drive to Indiana’s 2-yard line, but turnovers and fourth-down stops prevented the Hilltoppers from scoring.
