No. 8 Indiana football host Michigan on CBS in B1G TIME game
The No. 8 Indiana Hoosiers take on the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday in a marquee matchup on November 9th on CBS.
The Hoosiers are coming off a 47-10 victory over the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. IU enters the contest at 9-0 while the Wolverines sit at 5-4 after falling to No. 1 Oregon on Saturday 38-17.
Here's what IU head coach Curt Cignetti said about their win over Michigan State:
"Good road win up at Michigan State. I like the way we responded when we were down 10-0 in the first quarter. Guys kept their poise, kept playing, no frustration and picked up a couple of turnovers there defensively in the second quarter, which were key".
Cignetti on Michigan:
I look at them and I see a really good defense, really good special teams. And offensively, they haven't scored points. They're not in the 40s and 50s. But they can run the ball from 11, 12 and 13 personnel.
The Wolverines lead the all-time series 62-10, and last season Michigan blew out Indiana 52-7 in Ann Arbor on their way to a national title.
ESPN’s Football Power Index currently five IU an 81.7% chance to win.
The Hoosiers and Wolverines will start at 3:30 p.m. ET inside Memorial Stadium. The game will air on CBS, with Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jenny Dell on the call.
