But it was Indiana who dominated that night, whooping the visiting Wildcats 38-14. The Hoosiers cruised to a 17-0 halftime lead and never looked back. Indiana used the ground game to pound Kentucky, gaining 305 yards on 60 carries. Unfortunately that has been the last game to-date between the two schools.
