Anthony Thompson scores his 60th career touchdown to set a then NCAA Division I-A record.
The NCAA single-game rushing record of 357 yards, held by Rueben Mayes and Mike Pringle is broken as Anthony Thompson rushes for 377 yards in a 45-17 victory at Wisconsin. This stood as a Big Ten Conference record for 25 years until it was broken by Melvin Gordon (Wisconsin ) in 2014.[ 7] As of 2014[update] , it still stands as the school record.[ 8] Thompson also scores four touchdowns on the day.

Larry Sullivan kicked a 32-yard field goal with 2:51 left and Scott Bonnell missed a 26-yard field goal for Indiana with 1:29 remaining.
[ 10] The loss knocked the Hoosiers out of playing in the Freedom Bowl while others speculated it may have also contributed to Anthony Thompson not winning the Heisman Trophy .[ 11]
