Indiana wins game; QB Roberson breaks leg

Indiana team officials told ESPN that QB Tre Roberson broke his leg on a running play in the second quarter of Saturday's game against Massachusetts. Roberson had scored on runs of 50 and 39 yards before leaving the game, and Indiana spoiled Massachusetts' first home game as a Football Bowl Subdivision member with a 45-6 win on Saturday.

Playing at the stadium of the three-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, the Minutemen were no match for one of the Big Ten's weaker teams. The Hoosiers led 21-6 midway through the first quarter and already had totaled 223 yards.
