- Josh Hoover had a 4-yard touchdown run in overtime and made a 21-yard pass to set it up, leading No. 6 Indiana to a 13-6 win at Michigan despite playing injured.
- Curt Cignetti considered benching Hoover in the second half due to his injuries but decided to stick with him, citing his leadership and season-long role.
- Tommy Carr threw an interception and lost a fumble for Michigan, took four sacks, and failed to score in the final minute of regulation or in overtime.
- Michigan reached Indiana’s 3-yard line in the final minute of regulation but settled for a field goal after a sack, then failed to convert on fourth down in OT.
- Indiana improved to 7-1 (4-1 Big Ten) with the win, avoiding back-to-back losses for the first time in three years under Cignetti.
- Kyle Whittingham acknowledged Michigan’s offense struggled in all phases, saying 'You name it and we've got to work on it,' after the 13-6 overtime loss.
Why it matters: Indiana preserves its undefeated Big Ten momentum and strengthens its playoff positioning by winning at Michigan for the first time in 57 years, while Michigan’s inconsistent offense under Carr deepens concerns about its season trajectory despite Whittingham’s defense of the quarterback.
