Indiana Football: Strong first quarter not enough in loss to Michigan

Indiana did about whatever it wanted early against a tough Michigan defense, jumping out to a 7-0 and 14-7 lead, but injuries and defensive adjustments slowed the Hoosiers the rest of the way as they lost 39-14.

Peyton Ramsey came out on fire early and Stevie Scott III scored in the first quarter as Indiana looked primed to pull off a huge upset over the Wolverines. Michigan would recover, though, as Shea Patterson carved up the Indiana secondary and the bigger receivers of the Wolverines were too much for the Hoosiers to handle.

The loss drops Indiana to 7-4 on the year as they head to Purdue next week looking for its first eight-win season since 1993.
