Is there an answer for the Indiana offense?

This Indiana offense could be as good as any Michigan football faces all season. Kurtis Rourke, who transferred from Ohio, has been spectacular. He's got 19 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions and is completing 73.3 percent of his passes.

He's got weapons all over the field and if Michigan is missing Will Johnson/Jyaire Hill, it's going to be a really long day.

The defensive line needs to dominate, especially because Indiana rushes for 191 yards per game in addition to throwing for 288. Whether it's with sacks or turnovers or whatever, the Wolverines have to find a way to get some stops.

Michigan's front four should be able to wreak havoc, and it will have to because without some negative plays and constant pressure on. the quarterback, it's going to be a long day for the Wolverines as they try to beat Indiana -- yes Indiana, as a two-touchdown underdog.
