Report card
Offense: A
In racing to a 35-10 halftime lead, the Cowboys scored a touchdown on each of their first five possessions. Quarterback Zac Robinson, voted the Insight Bowl's offensive player of the game, had 372 yards of total offense and accounted for five touchdowns. Freshman wide receiver Dez Bryant had a big night -- nine catches for 117 yards and two TDs. In their final college game, senior wide Adarius Bowman and senior tailback Dantrell Savage each scored a touchdown. OSU finished with 513 total yards (6.2 per snap), and Savage capped his career by extending his streak of 100-yard performances. With 100 yards against Indiana, he reached the 100 mark in 10 consecutive games.
Defense: B-minus
The OSU defense had a strong first half. As the defense made three consecutive stops of the Indiana offense, the Cowboy offense answered with three touchdowns. Senior linebacker Donovan Woods (nine tackles) was voted the defensive player of the game.
Special teams: C
The Cowboys averaged only 17.2 yards on kickoff returns. Dez Bryant debuted as the OSU punt returner. He had two returns for 15 yards. Matt Fodge's average on punts was only 35.3 yards because he shanked an 18-yarder in the third period. OSU did cover kickoffs effectively, limiting the Hoosiers to less than 18 yards per return.
Statistically speaking

10 Consecutive 100-yard games by Dantrell Savage
1,272 Savage's rushing total in 2007
1,006 Adarius Bowman's receiving yards in 2007
