Takeaways
Michigan had third down at Indiana's 1 and 3, and lost yards both times
Indiana beat Michigan 13-6 in overtime at Michigan Stadium in front of 111,276, its first win there since 1967. Michigan is 4-3 and 1-3 in the Big Ten. Michigan had the ball inside the Indiana 23 on five possessions and scored two field goals. Three of the five ended with Tommy Carr sacked on third down, including a 13-yard loss on third-and-1 from the Indiana 1 that Kyle Whittingham called 'not a good football call,' and a 5-yard loss on third-and-3 from the 3 with 32 seconds left. Trey Butkowski, 4 of 4 on field goals before Saturday, missed from 53 and 32. Indiana's six points in regulation both came on short fields after Carr's two turnovers; its nine other regulation possessions, all starting in its own territory, produced nothing. Josh Hoover, playing hurt per Curt Cignetti, was 8 of 18 for 81 yards and threw his first interception of the season, to Zeke Berry. Michigan ran 42 times for 57 yards, its running backs 26 times for 52. In his first start Carr was 20 of 32 for 167 yards; no completion travelled more than 18 yards past the line. Blake Frazier and Dom Nichols were ruled out on game day; Marky Walbridge started at right tackle and Benny Patterson III made his first career start. Michigan plays at Rutgers on Saturday.
