Week 11 of the college football season brought a lot of excitement. From major upsets to history being made, the week had it all. The No.
8 Indiana Hoosiers added to the exciting weekend by making history by defeating the Michigan Wolverines. This victory marks the Hoosiers' first 10-win season in program history, positioning them strongly for a chance to make the College Football Playoff. David Pollack discussed the game on his YouTube channel, "David Pollack College Football.
" He commented that the top 10 team appeared "sloppy" during the second half against the defending champions. "Indiana, they go to 10-0, but they looked sloppy in the second half," Pollack said. "At one point, I saw, they ran like 14 plays in five drives.
(They) turned the ball over, punts, their quarterback was getting hit a little bit more; he hasn't been pressured a bunch." Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images The Hoosiers took a commanding 17-3 lead at halftime, but the Michigan defense stifled their high-powered offense in the second half. The Hoosiers managed to score only three points after a long punt return late in the fourth quarter.
The Hoosiers managed only 246 total yards during the game, including 206 passing yards and a mere 40 rushing yards. In comparison, Indiana ranks No. 8 in total offense, averaging 476.
2 yards per game, No. 19 in passing yards with 284.3 yards per game, and No.
30 in rushing yards at 191.9 per game. Additionally, they are ranked No.
2 in scoring offense, averaging 46.6 points per game. Their performance on Saturday was significantly below these season averages.
The Hoosiers have a bye week before facing their toughest challenge of the season: on the road against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, Nov. 23.
