Michigan Football: 3 things we need to see vs. Indiana

2. The continued ascension of Davis Warren

Davis Warren has upped his game the last two weeks, especially against the No. 1 team in the nation. He is not taking sacks and reading the correct coverages. He has definitely shown that he has learned from his early season mistakes by not turning it over consistently either. You can tell that his confidence is growing because of it. His nerves appear to have dissipated.

Indiana's defense is not as talented as Oregon's, so Warren could post another career day, assuming he continues on his current trajectory. He should take a few more shots downfield in this one like he has been doing the past two weeks with Colston Loveland and Tyler Morris. Maryland was able to move the ball against this defense to the tune of 300 yards in the air and put up 28 points. Their problem was that they couldn't stop Indiana's tempo offense.

On paper Michigan's defense is the best that the Hoosiers have seen this season, but that means nothing. The Hoosiers have been scoring without much resistance from defenses all year. They're second in the country in scoring at 47 points per contest and their lowest point total is 31. They should be able to accomplish that on Wink Martindale and a banged-up Michigan football defense.
