Comes up big in comeback Bazelak completed 33 of his 55 passes for 364 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 33-30 victory over Western Kentucky. He also netted a three-yard loss over eight rushes.

Impact Bazelak was forced to play from behind for most of Saturday's comeback overtime win against the Hilltoppers. As a result, the Missouri transfer dropped back to pass a career-high 55 times against Western Kentucky, including a four-yard touchdown connection with wideout Cam Camper followed by another completion on Indiana's subsequent two-point conversion to tie the game 30-30 with less than one minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Bazelak was largely kept clean despite his multitude of passing attempts, going down for just three sacks, he'll likely face a tougher defensive matchup when Indiana squares off against Cincinnati this coming Saturday.

Locked in two-man QB battle Bazelak appears locked into a two-man competition for the Hoosiers starting quarterback spot with Jack Tuttle, after Donaven McCulley moved to wide receiver per Don Fischer.

Impact Bazelak transferred to Indiana after three years at Missouri, and his quest for the starting job just got easier. Donaven McCulley, who started several games for the Hoosiers at quarterback last season, has switched to wide receiver. This puts Bazelak and senior Jack Tuttle in direct competition for QB1, with Bazelak likely having the edge with his SEC starting experience and superior numbers.
