Michigan Football: 5 predictions for Wolverines against Indiana
Indiana will score around 20
One advantage that Indiana should have in this game is the fact that Peyton Ramsey has had some success against Michigan before even if his final numbers looked shaky.
In two starts, he has completed fewer than 50 percent of his throws against the Wolverines. He has also had issues with turnovers. But the pressure packages and all that stuff, he will be used to it, so Don Brown will need something else up his sleeve.

Zone packages have worked out well and Michigan has some nice pieces on all three levels of the defense. The key is going to be slowing down Stevie Scott and the Hoosiers ground game.
If Scott has a big day, then watch out. But if Michigan can hold him in check, the biggest worry will be Ramsey. He throws the ball well and has a number of dangerous targets. He can also make things happen with his feet.
While he may not be able to consistently move the football, much like he did in 2018, he will find some success throwing and some running. The question is, will it be enough?
I can see the Hoosiers getting around 20 points, which is fairly modest for the second-leading offense in terms of total yards in the Big Ten and as long as UM keeps IU in that range, it will have done its job.
