There’s very little historical precedent for what IU’s defense accomplished against Michigan last week by holding its rival to 206 total yards. That’s the lowest total for the Wolverines in the rivalry in the 47 games they’ve played going back to 1960.

That’s because Indiana is rolling, ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings, and the Hoosiers have been clowning every team in its path not too dissimilar from how Michigan has the past three seasons. Thus, the 5-4, unranked Wolverines have an uphill climb in this tough battle.

Indiana moved up four spots and ranked No. 6 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll on Sunday. The Hoosiers moved up to No. 5 in the AP Poll, the highest they've been in the poll since Nov. 13, 1967.
