Hoover's clearly not right, but the defense is holding the fort down. IU needs to make this a 2 score game sooner rather than later

Michigan tries to get IU to jump, and Stephen Daley jumps. Michigan first down on fourth and 2 

Pass interference by AJ Harris, and penalties are burning IU's defense to end this half 

There is a medical stoppage for Isaiah Jones. He has his helmet off after that hit

Timeout for an injured Jones. He goes to the tent to get a concussion test 

Michigan takes a sack and has 4th and 15. It'd be about a 52-yard field goal attempt

And the Michigan kicker Vanderjadt'd the heck out of that one. Way left.

Michigan's kick is no good. IU gets away with that drive. 

IU will have a chance to steal 3 points here. IU ball at the Michigan 38.

McAteer is going to attempt a 56-yard field goal

Had the distance, but wide left and Michigan has a second left

both teams exchanged missed field goals and it will be 6-0 IU at the half 

Halftime thoughts: IU 6-0

- Offensive inconsistency is still biting us 

- Hoover looks off and hurt 

- Becker had two great catches at the end of the half 

- IU not capitalizing on Carr's turnovers puts them in a tricky spot as Michigan gets the ball back 

- Michigan is ultimately happier with the score than IU is, but IU has played better 

- Beebe has had some good runs

Halftime: Indiana 6 Michigan 0

Indiana has made a ton of mistakes on offense. Hoover does not look right, but the offense has done just enough to get points on the board. I would keep an eye out for IU making a change at QB.

Defensively, IU forced two turnovers that resulted in 6 points, but has made some bad mistakes with penalties.

Special teams has been really good today.

Halftime Thoughts:

• IU leads 6-0, but it feels like it should be more. Two takeaways turned into two field goals. Missed chances to create separation.
• Defense is carrying this one. Jones recovered the botched pitch, Harris helped create Ferrell’s interception, and IU keeps getting stops.
• Hoover hasn’t looked consistently sharp. Some high throws and questionable decisions, but drops, penalties and good coverage haven’t helped either.
• Becker’s fingertip catch was outstanding. Marsh has also shown how dangerous he is after the catch, but IU hasn’t built much rhythm.
• Carr’s legs have caused problems, especially getting outside. Need to keep him contained when the coverage holds up.
• Daleys offsides on fourth down was brutal. Had Michigan stopped and instead gave it another opportunity.
• IU doesn’t need a complete reset offensively. Just cleaner execution and touchdowns instead of field goals.
