(Sports Network) - Kellen Lewis completed 19-of-26 tosses for 322 yards and he accounted for three touchdowns to lead the Indiana Hoosiers to a 38-20 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes in a Big Ten Conference matchup from Kinnick Stadium.

James Hardy caught four passes for 114 yards and a score for Indiana (4-1, 1-1 BigTen), which won in Iowa City for the first time since a 38-31 triumph on October 23rd, 1999.

Jake Christensen threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns to lead Iowa (2-3, 0-2), while Albert Young ran for 94 yards on 15 carries. Young also caught three balls for 44 yards, as the Hawkeyes dropped their third game in a row.

Late in the frame, the Hoosiers sealed the Hawkeyes fate with a seven-yard touchdown scamper by Sears for what was the game's final score, 38-20.
