8 LONG YEARS 31-27 IU wins 1st game against top-20 foe since 2006 By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen

COLUMBIA, Mo. – IU football doesn’t get many days like Saturday. IU football fans almost come to expect failures. The disappointments. The “almosts.” The struggles of the IU football program have been well documented. Six consecutive losing seasons. Eighteen consecutive losses against ranked opponents. Twenty-seven years have passed since IU beat a top-20 ranked team on the road. The Hoosiers came to Columbia, Mo., having just lost to Bowling Green in dramatic fashion in a game IU Coach Kevin Wilson admitted had slipped away from his team. It’s hard to truly quantify exactly what Saturday’s 31-27 win against No. 18 Missouri means to an IU program that has become used to being kicked around. “From our standpoint, it’s not a surprise that we won, but it was a

big upset in reality,” freshman linebacker Tegray Scales said. “I think we’re very excited to know that we could do that.” When Wilson and his players talked immediately following IU’s four-point win against Missouri, there was an evident feeling of accomplishment. This team has heard the critics. It knows the history. It has felt the unrest of the fan base. But the win—no matter how small it may ultimately prove to be—was a signature victory the program has lacked, the team said. To Wilson, it’s a reaffirmation that the program is taking steps in the right direction and doesn’t need to be defined by struggle. “To me, we’re doing things the right way, and we’ve got a great deal of support and commitment from our school and from our department,” Wilson said. “We’ve been knocking on the door, but you have to knock it down, and we just keep tapping on it.”

Coalition organizes local climate march By Anicka Slachta aslachta@indiana.edu | @ajslachta

While environmentalists gathered in Central Park in New York for Sunday’s People’s Climate March, their Bloomington counterparts assembled at the local courthouse in downtown Bloomington. Clanking cowbells and blowing ram’s horns, the crowd of about 155 people created a cacophony of noise, sounding alarm for climate change. “This is a group effort,” said Molly O’Donnell, a member of the

Bloomington Commission on Sustainability and a manager of the event. O’Donnell noted the “group” consisted of two branches — one being the Interfaith Coalition of Environmental Youth and the other being Earth Care, which O’Donnell represented. According to its website, Earth Care aims to bring “Hoosiers of faith together to help curb global climate change.” O’Donnell stressed the event SEE CLIMATE, PAGE 5

That door may still prove to be intact. After all, IU is only 2-1 with a loss to Bowling Green, and the Hoosiers remain a long way away from a Bowl invite. But for at least one night in the IU locker room, that door was knocked down. It’s the first road win for IU since Oct. 27, 2012 against Illinois. It’s only the third win in a game decided by less than one score in the Wilson era. It’s only the fourth road win against a ranked team in the Associated Press poll in program history. Those rankings date back to 1939. IU won in ways that weren’t like the IU teams of the recent past, either. Last season, IU was ranked No. 121 out of 123 teams in the FBS in total defense. But Saturday, the Hoosiers won with defense. SEE UPSET, PAGE 6

Running game leads offense in win against No. 18 Missouri By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Junior running back Tevin Coleman has made a habit of putting his team in a position to win. With IU around midfield trailing 27-24 and time running out, Coleman caught a screen pass from quarterback Nate Sudfeld and ran it to the Missouri 15-yard line. A face mask penalty gave IU first and goal with less than 30 seconds remaining. “The receivers blocked well, the O-line blocked well and I just ran behind them,” Coleman said. “They made it happen.” On second and goal from the 3-yard line, senior running back D’Angelo Roberts jumped over a pack of Tiger defenders for the game-winning touchdown. The score gave IU (2-1) a 31-27

It’s the Hoosiers’ first win against a ranked opponent since 2006. “To be honest, I was prepared to run somebody over, and I noticed that a lot of people were on the ground, so at that point in time I just knew that I might as well jump,” Roberts said. “And I got a 40-inch SEE RUN GAME, PAGE 6

Lotus brings music, culture to IU By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu | @amandanmarino

Half an hour before the first act took the stage at the Old National Bank/Soma Tent on Friday night, technical crews tested the lights and sound board. At the tent near the intersection of Fourth Street and Grant Street during the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival, the air was already buzzing with anticipation. Before the night was over, people would get to enjoy the music of bands from Louisiana, Honduras and Sweden. “It’s a great draw,” tent volunteer Alan Simmerman said. He said he has friends from Indianapolis and Terre Haute who come down every year.

Lotus audience perspective See social media coverage of the 21st annual Lotus Fest, including audience pictures, at idsnews.com “It’s such a great opportunity to see music,” he said as people began to file into the tent to prepare for the first act, the Revelers. Simmerman said he has volunteered at Lotus Festival since 2007 but that there were some veterans of the event that have worked for 15 or even 20 years. “It really is a town event,” he said. As 7 p.m. approached, people began gathering in large groups under the tent, talking, drinking and preparing themselves for a long night of
