In 2024 when you think of an Indiana football game, you’re usually thinking a blowout where Indiana’s offense dominates the scoreboard, which is still very surprising to think about.

Defense wins championships. Michigan’s stout defense was a big part of their championship run last season. Over the past couple of seasons, the Wolverines have consistently had a top-10 defense, culminating last year with a defense that didn’t allow more than 24 points a game and a best in FBS stop rate of 87.4%.
