Michigan smashed Minnesota 49-24 in its opener...but then the Wolverines lost 27-24 outright to Michigan State as big favorites last weekend...

Jim Harbough has struggled a big vs. the big guns in the Big Ten...such as Ohio State, Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin...he's just 8-13 against these teams as coach of the Wolverines...

Indiana on the other hand is 2-0...that's the first time the Hoosiers have been 2-0 since 1991.

Indiana got by Penn State in overtime to open the season, followed by a 37-21 victory over Rutgers on the road...with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. rushing for one touchdown and throwing for three more. ... the Hoosiers also looked pretty good defensively, forcing Rutgers into three tunrovers...Indiana now has six turnovers in just two games...

Michigan has gotten uneven play. It's 1-1. It's allowing 25.5 PPG and it's averaging 36.5. Quarterback Joe Milton has been average though..he has 525 passing yards over tow games...but just one touchdown...

Indiana allows 28 points per game..but it's been coming up with some big plays..as mentioned earlier it does have the six takeaways over the first two games of the season...

The Hoosiers have been great offensively as well...averaging 36.5 points per game so far...

The bottom line though is that the Wolverines are going to be hungry to bounce back here and they've covered in three of the last four in this series. This is a MUST WIN game for Harbough. Lay the points!

Good luck, NP
