Summary

- Michigan is starting a freshman QB, Tommy Carr.
- Indiana's defense excels against young quarterbacks.
Indiana, ranked sixth, enters their matchup against Michigan as a 7.5-point road favorite. This game follows Indiana's first loss since December 2024. Michigan has opted to start freshman quarterback Tommy Carr, who successfully led the team to a victory over Penn State in his first significant action.
Indiana's defense has a notable advantage against young quarterbacks, holding a 6-0 record against first- and second-year freshmen since 2024. Under coach Curt Cignetti, opposing freshmen quarterbacks have struggled, with a 62.6% completion rate and a concerning ratio of nine interceptions to only four touchdowns.
Adding to Michigan's challenges, 15 players are on their injury report, including six starters who are questionable. Indiana, conversely, has an empty injury report, with running back Khobie Martin expected to return. Quarterback Josh Hoover is also healthy for Indiana following their previous game.
