Week 11 of the college football season continues Saturday with a Big Ten matchup between Indiana and Penn State at West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium.
Ahead of kickoff, Bet365 has released a special focus on the touchdown markets, with Roman Hemby sitting at +500 to score the first touchdown. The Penn State running back has been a reliable producer this season and represents one of the top first-score candidates on the board for Saturday’s noon kickoff.
Hemby has become a central figure in Penn State’s red-zone offense, with multiple first-quarter scores this season. Against an Indiana defense that has allowed over 150 rushing yards per game, the opening-drive script could favor a strong ground attack.
Bet365 also lists Hemby at -165 to score a touchdown anytime, but the +500 price for first TD offers a larger reward for bettors confident he’ll open the scoring.

The Dimers model, which simulates every matchup 10,000 times, projects that Indiana has an 85% chance of winning this game. Despite the Hoosiers’ strong overall rating, the model expects a closer-than-expected start, which could create early opportunities for Penn State to strike first through its running game.
Dimers also projects a 52% chance that the total stays under 48.5, consistent with the Big Ten’s typically defensive style of play.
Dimers’ top pick for the matchup is Under 48.5 total points (-110), driven by both teams’ strong defensive tendencies and moderate offensive tempo.
For player props, the Roman Hemby First Touchdown Scorer (+500) at Bet365 stands out as a high-upside selection. The early game environment often favors established rushers, and Hemby fits that mold as Penn State’s go-to option inside the 10-yard line.
Projected final score: Indiana 32, Penn State 17.
Dimers’ simulations predict an Indiana win but see Penn State’s offense getting on the board early—making Hemby’s first-touchdown odds especially appealing.
