BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
[b]Stefon Diggs Jersey Color Rush[/b] . -- Indiana is one win away from becoming bowl eligible and its defense has played a big part in getting the Hoosiers to this point.Once known for scoring in bunches and giving up points just as quickly, these Hoosiers are establishing themselves as more unyielding. Defense saved Saturdays 33-27 win at Rutgers with 11 three-and-out stops, including on seven consecutive possessions. Indiana also allowed only one third-down conversion in 16 attempts.I just knew they werent doing much, they werent getting many yards, junior safety Chase Dutra said Monday.The Scarlet Knights werent as productive as the point total suggests. Rutgers scored one touchdown on a long pass, another on defense and the final TD off a short field after one of four Indiana turnovers. Take away five plays that gained 188 yards and the Hoosiers allowed just 163 total yards on 65 plays (2.6 yards per play).Players say the difference is new defensive coordinator Tom Allen, who demanded change from the first day he arrived in the offseason. Players are expected to attack each day, let alone each play.I dont believe weve ever held anybody to zero on third downs, and the one they converted was for the touchdown on the goal line, Allen said. To be able to be that dominant in that situation, Im really, really proud of our players.Indiana (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) is in position to clinch a bowl bid for the second consecutive year for the first time since 1990-91 if it can upset No. 12 Penn State (7-2, 5-1), which visits Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Nittany Lions are 18-1 against Indiana, the lone exception a Hoosiers home victory in 2013.Its going to take our best efforts, its going to take our best week, its a strong challenge and a great team were playing, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. Were going to need to have a great week to have a chance.Indiana has amassed 1,217 total yards in two weeks, so Wilsons reputation for fielding productive offenses is still intact. But turnovers have been an issue. Junior quarterback Richard Lagow has 15 touchdown passes with 13 interceptions, and the team has lost four of 10 fumbles, including one returned for a touchdown Saturday.Thats why defense has been key. Allens unit is allowing 119.4 fewer yards per game, down to 390.1, the second-largest improvement in the nation. Junior linebacker Tegray Scales has 85 tackles, including 64 solo stops, which ranks second in the country. Junior cornerback Rashard Fant is first in the country with 16 passes defended and 15 pass breakups.Indiana has 10 sacks and 28 tackles for loss in the last three games.Its nice to finally get a little recognition, Dutra said.Freshman cornerback Ashon Riggins said Allen has flipped the defensive mindset.He gets mad when the other team scores at the end of the game even when the game is out of reach, Riggins said. He has that mentality that, `We dont want them to get into the end zone no matter what the situation is.Game notes The struggles for junior kicker Griffin Oakes continue in what has been a nightmarish season for the 2015 Big Ten Kicker of the Year. Oakes had two field goals blocked at Rutgers, which makes nine misses in 20 attempts this season. He was also wide right on an extra point and had another PAT botched by the holder. Wilson isnt replacing him, adding: I think our kickers are getting a little psychotic. Weve got to work through the mental demon, but I dont think I need to pound the kids legs because theres only so many swings in that leg.---More AP College Football:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans believe they are ready to make a stand on their home field.Finally.For a franchise thats gone a measly 2-16 at home since the end of the 2013 season, the Titans best chance at a decent season may rest on a three-game homestand that starts Sunday against the winless Cleveland Browns.Its huge because as you guys know, our stands, they get a little empty toward the end of the fourth quarter usually when were losing, defensive lineman Karl Klug said Monday. None of us really like that, but rightfully so. We arent giving the fans much to cheer about. Were going to have to change things.A combined 5-27 overall the past two seasons, the Titans have beaten only Jacksonville in Nashville during that stretch and already have lost their first two home games to start this season. Now theyre coming off a second straight road game by routing Miami 30-17 in a way the Titans believe is the formula to winning under coach Mike Mularkey.Tennessee ran for 235 yards, Marcus Mariota threw for three touchdowns and had his first game this season without an interception, and the defense had six sacks and two interceptions. DeMarco Murray leads the AFC and is second in the NFL with 461 yards rushing, while linebacker Brian Orakpo is tied for third in the league with six sacks already.Still, this franchise hasnt strung together consecutive wins since the end of the 2013 season. Its been such a long stretch that defensive lineman Jurrell Casey couldnt recall when Tennessee last won back-to-back games, though tight end Delanie Walker remembered the occasion happening in his first season with the Titans.Casey said this homestand offers a huge opportunity.This is definitely going to be a momentum kicker, Casey said.

I think our guys are going to take this under our belt, and were going to run with it. Weve got the right mindset of the group of guys in this building to make sure we make it happen.Cornerback Jason McCourty said the NFL is about putting together streaks.Its not about win a game, lose a game, win a game, McCourty said.Tennessees schedule provides an opportunity to build some momentum.The Titans three losses have come against teams with a combined 12-3 record. The next three opponents are 3-11, with Indianapolis (2-3) and Jacksonville (1-3) following Cleveland. Of the Titans remaining 11 games, only three teams have winning records.Thats our main focus ..., Walker said. We want to win out in the second quarter. Thats all were thinking about. We got one win, now we got three home games, and I think its a great opportunity to get wins at home.Mularkey is trying to keep the Titans focused only on the Browns (0-5), a team that has beaten Tennessee each of the past two seasons. He said theres no way the Titans will look past Cleveland.It has to start somewhere, Mularkey said. Our first opponents Cleveland on Sunday, and thats all were going to lock into.Game notes Mularkey said SS DaNorris Searcy (ankle) and CB Cody Riggs (hamstring) should return to practice this week.---Online:AP NFL website:
