2017 First Glance: Week Seven Michigan Wolverines

2017 First Glance: Week Seven Michigan Wolverines

Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

We have sped through September, and all the way to the second Saturday in October. The Hoosiers’ open week in October 7th, after a clash with Penn State and prior to hosting Michigan and it comes almost right smack in the middle of the season.

Players like Clayton Thorson of Northwestern, Tanner Lee of Nebraska, Conner Roda of Minnesota, and Nathan Stanley of Iowa are not on Indiana’s 2017 schedule.

Indiana does play against quarterbacks who are widely considered on every All-Conference list, the conference’s leading passer, and a couple potential Heisman trophy candidates, so the quality of opposing quarterbacks is pretty solid.
