Indiana is coming off their sixth loss of the season as they fell to Maryland 35-38. Michigan is coming off their first season loss as they fell to Michigan State on the road 33-37.

Written by Amanda Pavelka (@AmandaPavelka3)
It was a downright dominant performance by the Indiana defense that left Michigan in the dust 38-21 on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. It was the dust IU had collected over the past 33 years that they had come up without an answer for Michigan and their consistently talented teams, and Saturday they had every answer from the first kick.
