10:07 Q1

The Hoosiers execute a near-perfect, 10-play drive to open the game. Quarterback Peyton Ramsey was 4-of-5 on the drive, passing for 39 yards. Running back Stevie Scott got it done at the goal line, however, as he took two straight handoffs culminating in a one-yard score.

Indiana leads Michigan 7-0 early.

5:45 Q1

Score is tied 7-7.

3:42 Q1

Ramsey is hit as he throws and his pass sails into the middle of the field where it is intercepted. Ramsey was hurt on the play but was able to walk off the field under his own power.

15:00 Q2

Michigan was unable to take advantage of the turnover and punted back to Indiana. Ramsey broke the huddle with the offense and finishes out the first quarter under center. The Hoosiers has second down with eight yards to go just outside the red zone.

14:09 Q2

A big run from Scott put the Hoosiers near the goal line, but he was unable to punch it in on the next play despite a great effort to reach for the goal line. The run still gave Indiana first down from the one-yard line where Ramsey was able to punch it in for the score.

Indiana retakes the lead, 14-7.

11:01 Q2

Tie game, 14-14.

5:37 Q2

Indiana's defense has sacrificed huge plays in this game. On Michigan's latest drive, it cost them. The Wolverines convert a 24-yard touchdown to Nico Collins which capped off a four-play, 80-yard drive. Collins has four receptions for 70 yards and the score.

Michigan now leads 21-14.

15:00 Q3

Michigan receives the ball and returns the ball to the 28-yard line.

10:04 Q3

Indiana had the chance to hold Michigan to a drive of zero points, but a 41-yard reception from Peoples-Jones on third down swung the momentum in the Wolverines' favor. In the end, Michigan settled for a field goal, pushing its lead to 10 points.

Michigan still leads, 24-14.

5:10 Q3

Indiana couldn't convert on third and one in Michigan's side of the field. After an otherwise successful fourth down run, freshman tackle Matthew Bedford commits a holding call that forces the Hoosiers to punt.

Two plays later, Collins is running 76 yards down the field for a touchdown. He caught the intermediate route over the middle and broke away from the secondary for the score.

Michigan leads 32-14 after a successful two-point conversion.

1:39 Q3

On third down, Bedford lets Michigan linebacker Josh Uche pressure, sack and strip Ramsey of the football. Michigan recovers and Collins scores his third touchdown on the first play of the drive.

Michigan leads 39-14.

15:00 Q4

Michigan has scored 29 unanswered points to this point in the game. Indiana, at one point, led 14-7 in the first quarter.

Scott and Bedford were both injured for Indiana before the start of the fourth quarter. Scott was able to slowly walk off the field, but Bedford needed a cart for what looked like a lower body injury.

FINAL

With such a large lead, Michigan ran the clock down while Indiana failed to score for the entirety of the final quarter.

As the game came to a close, quarterback Jack Tuttle came in for Ramsey. He completed his only throw for a seven-yard completion to David Ellis.
