This could be the right time for Michigan football to catch Indiana peeking ahead to its top-10 tangle in Columbus two weeks from now. The Hoosiers have done nothing to indicate that they will have a letdown on Saturday though. The media is rambling on about how they have been disrespected in the CFP rankings, now they'll get two of the biggest names in college football back-to-back to prove they belong amongst the national title contenders.

Here's three things I want to see in Bloomington on Saturday.

1. Feed Colston Loveland frequently

Loveland was named to the Mackey award semi-final list this week. He has been on a heater lately and is about the only reliable option on offense right now. He's already surpassed his 2023 total of catches and matched his four touchdowns as well. He's on pace for more yardage too.

The Hoosiers haven's faced a tight end as productive as Loveland all year. Nebraska's Thomas Fidone was able to find some leeway against the Indiana secondary a few weeks backs. I'm talking about 15 to 20 targets because the wideouts cannot be relied upon. Help him work his way up the draft ladder and make some more money.

A running game would help with all phases too, but defenses have shut down that part of the offense over the last two weeks.
