Quarterback Michael Penix, Jr.’s dramatic reach for the pylon against Penn State sent the Indiana program into a bit of a frenzy. Last second signature wins will do that. But IU’s too unbelievable even for a Hollywood script win over the Nittany Lions was more than just a surreal triumph on the football field.
