IU v Michigan






The Hoosiers hosted Michigan on an unusually warm day for November with temperatures reaching the mid-70’s for a noon kickoff.  

Indiana beat Michigan for the first time since 1987 by a score of 38-21. It is the first time that the Hoosiers had beaten Penn State and Michigan in the same season. Michael Penix finishing with 30-for-50 for 342 yards and three touchdowns. 

The Hoosiers were in command of this one from the outset with touchdown passes from Penix to Miles Marshall and Ty Fryfogle in the first quarter sandwiched between a 37-yard strike from Milton to Cornelius Johnson. Indiana led 14-7 after one quarter of play. They would extend their lead going into halftime to 24-7 on a 52-yard field goal with just under 7 minutes to go and a one-yard pass to Peyton Hendershot with 56 seconds to go.

Michigan came out of the locker room with a defensive stop and a Roman Wilson touchdown pass from 13-yards out from Milton, but Indiana had a counter punch and answered with a score of their own. Through three quarters, the Hoosiers led 31-14. Michigan was able to get it to within 10 on a 21-yard touchdown catch from Ronnie Bell (six catches, 149 yards), but the Hoosiers put the game away at 38-21 with a Stevie Scott two-yard touchdown with just under 9 minutes to go.
