ESPN predicts Michigan vs. Indiana, breaks down Tommy Carr's challenge

Michigan enters its upcoming matchup against Indiana as an underdog for the first time this year. Following a scoreless first half against Penn State, coach Kyle Whittingham replaced Bryce Underwood with freshman Tommy Carr, who sparked a 21-point second-half rally.

While coordinator Jason Beck utilized a simplified offensive scheme to support the newcomer, the Wolverines face a difficult test against a Hoosiers defense that ranks among the best in the country. Indiana enters the contest as a touchdown favorite according to betting lines and advanced statistical models.

The Hoosiers seek their first victory at this location since 1967, while Michigan looks to leverage newfound offensive momentum and a defense that has yet to surrender more than 20 points in a single game this season.
