Impact Jackson did what was asked of him on a day in which the Hoosiers ran for nearly 200 yards as a team. The redshirt sophomore quarterback connected with receiver Omar Cooper on a 42-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to give Indiana a 14-0 lead before finding the end zone once again on a two-yard run in the fourth quarter, giving the Hoosiers their final score of the game. While it wasn't a perfect day for Jackson as he threw an interception on the opening play of the second half, he did what the team needed him to do in place of the injured Kurtis Rourke. Should Rourke continue to miss time for the Hoosiers, Jackson's next opportunity will come in a road battle against Michigan State.
