Indiana looks to maintain its undefeated record and improve to 10-0 overall this Saturday when Michigan (5-4) travels to Bloomington. The atmosphere in and around Memorial Stadium is expected to ramp up a notch as CBS will broadcast the game on its national marquee and a sellout crowd will be in attendance.

IU sits at No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings and wants to stay in the CFP hunt, while Michigan is regressing from its national championship season. Curt Cignetti’s squad is the talk of college football right now, while Sherrone Moore’s team strives for winning consistency.

With a win, Indiana would improve to 10-0 overall and 7-0 in Big Ten play. The Hoosiers have a bye next week before traveling to Buckeye Stadium on Nov. 23 for a monumental game against No. 2 Ohio State.

Notables:

– Indiana is ranked No. 8 in the inaugural College Football Playoff rankings. If the season ended today, based on the rankings, Indiana would be the No. 9 seed in the CFP and would play No. 8 seed Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

— IU set a new record for the best start in program history with a 9-0 win at Michigan State. If Indiana defeats Michigan for its 10th win of the season, it would be the most wins in a single season in program history.

– Indiana is one of five remaining undefeated FBS teams, along with Army, Miami, BYU and Oregon.

– Curt Cignetti is the first Division I coach in history to go 8-0 or better in consecutive seasons at different schools. In 2023, he led James Madison to a 10-0 start. Cignetti and the Hoosiers will look to match that record with a win over Michigan.

— Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke returned from injury last week to throw four touchdowns in East Lansing. Rourke joins former Ohio State University star Justin Fields as just the second Big Ten quarterback since 2000 to score at least three touchdowns in his first three Big Ten road games.

– Indiana DE Mikail Kamara was named national defensive player of the week after recording 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks against Michigan State. His tackles-for-loss mark is the highest by a Big Ten player in a game this season and the second-highest in the country.

– Indiana has allowed zero sacks in consecutive Big Ten games for the first time since 2001.

— Michigan is led by first-year head coach Sherrone Moore, who previously served as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach under Jim Harbaugh during the Wolverines’ 2023 national championship season.

– Michigan has two new offensive and defensive coordinators this season. Offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell was Michigan’s quarterbacks coach last season before being named play-caller. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale comes to Ann Arbor after spending the last six seasons as an NFL defensive coordinator.

– Michigan is expected to use a two-QB system against Indiana with Davis Warren and Alex Orji. Warren began the season as Michigan’s starting QB, but was replaced by Orji and later Jack Tuttle. Warren has started the last two games for the Wolverines.

– Michigan’s rushing attack is averaging 165.1 yards and 2.5 touchdowns per game, while Indiana has held opponents under 100 rushing yards in six games.

– Michigan’s ground game features two productive running backs in Kal’el Mullings and Donaven Edwards. Mullings leads the team with 131 carries for 710 yards and seven touchdowns. Edwards has 99 carries for 467 yards and three touchdowns.

– Michigan tight end Colston Loveland, a projected first-round NFL draft pick, is the only returning offensive starter from 2023. Loveland leads Michigan in receptions (49), receiving yards (523) and receiving touchdowns (4).

– Defensively, Michigan’s secondary is in limbo with injuries to its top cornerback duo.
