5 predictions for Michigan Football against Indiana

Michigan football is heading to Bloomington on Saturday to take on the Indiana Hoosiers and here are five predictions (and a score) for the Wolverines. 

For the second week in a row, Michigan football is hitting the road, and just like last week, the Wolverines lost during their last visit to this facility.

Last week, Michigan played at Iowa for the first time since 2016 and ran for over 170 yards against the vaunted Iowa defense in a 27-14 win that wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

If J.J. McCarthy had hit on a couple of missed deep throws, the score would have been even more lopsided.

This week, the Wolverines are currently a 21.5-point favorite. U-M lost to Indiana on its last trip to Bloomington and we broke down the odds earlier this week. We also broke down keys to victory, as well as three reasons to expect U-M to emerge from this game 6-0 (also, recruiting if you’re interested).

Now, here are our five predictions, as well as a score prediction at the end.

Blake Corum has another 100-yard game

In terms of yards per game, Indiana is ranked 12 in the Big Ten in rushing yards allowed with over 142. Last week, Nebraska running back Anthony Grant went over 100. In a credit to Indiana, he didn’t have a run longer than 16 yards but the Nebraska offensive line is not Michigan’s.

The Huskers have been ravaged by injuries on the O-line, but they still ran the ball against the Hoosiers. Michigan football can too. The Wolverines have opened up the playbook since Big Ten play opened and Corum is special.

If the offensive line can dominate Iowa, it can do the same to Indiana and it will. Corum will also run for over 100 yards and score at least two touchdowns.
