Michigan Wolverines vs. Indiana Hoosiers Key Stats

Michigan has one of the best offenses in the country, led by sophomore QB J.J. McCarthy. While he hasn't put up monster total numbers, he's completing passes at a 78.6% rate, and he has six passing TDs and no picks. Wolverines' running back Blake Corum is having a great year, as he's up to 611 yards on the ground, which is the fourth-highest mark in the country. His ten rushing TDs lead the nation, and Indiana doesn't excel in any area defensively. The Hoosiers have also given up 80 points over the past two weeks. They'll have to get it together otherwise, Michigan will run up the score.

Hoosier's transfer QB Connor Bazelak has been decent, but compared to recent years, he's a huge upgrade at the most important position. Bazelak has 1,394 yards, but he has thrown three picks in his last two games, which is somewhat concerning. The ground game has been poor for Indiana, and collectively they average 3.3 yards per attempt. Michigan has an elite defense, especially against the run. Expect the Hoosiers to try and move the ball through the air instead. Indiana's junior Cam Camper has impressed as he's averaging over 100 receiving yards per game. He is questionable with a non-COVID illness, so if he is ultimately ruled out, it'll be very difficult for the hosts to muster offense.

Michigan Wolverines vs. Indiana Hoosiers Betting Prediction

Indiana started off strong, but they've come back down to earth the past two weeks. The under has hit in four of Michigan's five games this year, and this can be attributed to their defense holding opponents to 11.6 points per contest. While Indiana is better offensively than some of the weak opponents Michigan has faced, expect them to struggle to put up points on Saturday
