Indiana held Michigan to three points in five possessions in the middle of the game, got a punt return score, picked off a pass to kill a scoring chance with six minutes left, went down and scored the go-ahead touchdown with three minutes left, forced a fourth-and-goal in the final seconds ... and lost.

Meanwhile ... man oh man, is the shine coming off of Michigan's defense. The early run of almost impossibly good D turned out to be impossible to maintain. The Wolverines' Def. S&P+ rating (shared in the form of adjusted PPG) has gone from the 5s to the 12s in little time, and that Ohio State game has quickly shifted toward the Buckeyes.
