Indiana athletic director Scott Dolson decided keeping Miller would prove even more costly. Dolson fired Miller on Monday, armed with enough cash from private donations to cover the buyout and ready to answer a fan base angered by four straight mediocre seasons. Indiana hasn't been to the NCAA Tournament since 2016, hasn't reached a Final Four since 2002 and hasn't won a national championship since 1987 — the longest drought in school history. McRobbie accepted the recommendation and then gave Dolson permission to find private money to cover the costs.

Michigan couldn’t handle the praise that came with beating up on Minnesota, and that led to a crushing loss.

8 Penn State — its first win over a Top 10 team in more than 33 years. “We liked the call and stayed with the call (after Penn State called timeout) and stayed with the call. Penn State sacked Penix on the next two plays, forced him to throw the ball away on third and an incompletion on fourth, taking the ball back on down at the Indiana 14. Obviously, we could have handled it better and I could have handled it better," Penn State coach James Franklin said. SCARY SCENELess than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Penn State thought it had another turnover when receiver Miles Marshall fumbled at the end of a 17-yard completion.

(AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)If the five-year history of the College Football Playoff has taught us anything it is this: Don't start off third in the initial rankings.

- Despite the large gap between the two teams historically, Indiana and Nebraska share more similarities than either program may want to admit halfway through the 2019 season.

Nebraska, which has not hosted Indiana since 1977, won 27-22 in the teams' only meeting since becoming conference rivals in 2016.
