Hoosier Hunch: Predicting Indiana football at Michigan

Indiana football, coming off of its first loss since the 2024 season, is set to take on Michigan on the road on Saturday in Ann Arbor.

Michigan has had its troubles this season, from what should’ve been a season-opening loss to Western Michigan to struggles in Big Ten play. The Wolverines are still very much a threat worth taking seriously, having dispatched Oklahoma at home.

We’ve prepped some questions for fans to answer ahead of the matchup, share your thoughts below:

Does this matchup have a trap game feel?

Michigan has some similarities to Penn State last year, a talented Big Ten power that hasn’t quite gotten it going in spite of said talent. It’s also on the road in a venue that’s proven tough for the Hoosiers in the past. Do you have any worries about this being a trap game?

Who leads Indiana in receiving yards?

Does Nick Marsh try to earn some redemption and help carry Indiana to victory on Saturday? Or does Charlie Becker stay as consistent as ever? Does someone surprise?

Who makes the most impact on defense?

Does Mario Landino create some havoc? What about Tobi Osunsanmi off the edge? Stephen Daley still makes plays too, and don’t forget about Amare Ferrell and Jamari Sharpe in the secondary.

How much faith do you have in Indiana’s running game?

Indiana has run into a ton of trouble on the ground against both of Nebraska and Ohio State these past few weeks. Do the Hoosiers find themselves again running the ball against the Wolverines?
