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.

Indiana junior receiver Elijah Sarratt, a zero-star recruit as a high schooler in Virginia, delivered a figurative roasting to Michigan sophomore cornerback and former four-star recruit Jyaire Hill, leaving him behind in the open field and cruising under a 36-yard touchdown pass from Kurtis Rourke.

It was an interesting response from the Hoosiers. The defensive clampdown was expected. Indiana’s defense has been brilliant throughout the season, but it has been especially good in the last two games. The Hoosiers never let the Wolverines feel comfortable once the game dictated that they needed to pass.
