Indiana lifted starting defensive lineman Darius Latham's suspension Friday, making him eligible to play Saturday at Penn State.
Latham was suspended indefinitely last week as he waited for a resolution in a case before the school's student ethics office. That forced Latham to miss the Hoosiers' 34-27 loss to Ohio State, a game in which Ezekiel Elliott ran for a career high 274 yards and scored on runs of 55, 65 and 75 yards.
The statement issued Friday by Indiana (4-1, 0-1 Big Ten) did not say how the case was resolved - only that Latham traveled with the team and there would be no additional comments.
