After looking like it was ready to march in and take the lead, the Wolverines settled for a 33-yard Kenny Allen field goal that cuts the Indiana lead to 7-6 with 9:40 to play in the third quarter.
Michigan forced Indiana's offense into its first three and out of the game to start the second half. Jabrill Peppers returned the punt across midfield to set the Wolverines up, once again, with good field position.
After the rush attack got the Wolverines down to the 15, the offense stalled after a loss on first down and a John O'Korn incompletion on second down.
