(AP) Matt McGloin threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Derek Moye late in the third quarter, leading Penn State to a 16-10 victory Saturday at Indiana. The Nittany Lions (4-1) won the schools' Big Ten opener and improved to 15-0 all-time against the Hoosiers. Indiana (1-4) has lost two straight despite making a quarterback change Saturday. But it was Penn State's backup quarterback who was the difference. After leading Penn State to a tying field goal late in the second quarter, McGloin re-entered the game late in the third and threw the TD pass to Moye on his first play. He then led the Nittany Lions to a third field goal to make it 16-3 early in the fourth. Read the full AP recap, check out the box score and see our Big Ten scoreboard.

The Nittany Lions broke the 3-3 tie when Anthony Fera drilled a 27-yard field goal to cap a four-play, three-yard scoring drive.
