Bloomington, Ind. ? Larry Johnson outdid himself – and every other running back in Penn State history Saturday.

Johnson ran for 327 yards, a career-high four touchdowns and shattered a 31-year-old school rushing record as he led the 16th-ranked Nittany Lions to a 58-25 victory at Indiana.

Then he stayed humble. When asked whether he should be regarded as one of the best backs in school history, Johnson was modest.

“No, you could ask me that 100 times and I’d say the same thing,” Johnson said. “Those guys were the great ones, they paved the way for me.”

He turned in the game of a lifetime, breaking his own single-game school rushing record for the third time this season.

Johnson displayed his power and explosiveness on touchdown bursts of 69, 43, 1 and 41 yards as Penn State (8-3, 4-3 Big Ten) won its third straight game.

Coach Joe Paterno, who has an NCAA-best 335 career wins, wasn’t surprised.

“I’ve said before he’s a heck of a back,” Paterno said. “He’s smart, he’s gotten to be a good blocker. You can see he’s a tough kid. If he breaks a tackle, if he gets free, he just outruns everybody.”

The Hoosiers (3-8, 1-6) found out quickly, as Johnson outgained Indiana 327-275 on the ground.

Ohio State improved to 12-0 for the first time in school history, but Illinois (4-7, 3-4 Big Ten) nearly spoiled the Buckeyes’ season. John Gockman kicked a 48-yard field goal on the last play of regulation for a 16-all tie as the ball just barely fell inside the left upright.

After Hall’s TD run in OT, the Illini had a chance to tie, but a third-down pass from John Beutjer into the end zone was called incomplete because officials ruled receiver Walter Young bobbled the ball as he went out of bounds.
