Let's start out with the 2024 schedule first. Most college football analysts believe Michigan is a good team this year with one caveat, "they haven't played anyone yet". That will not be the case next season as Michigan will play a boat load of good teams in the new Big Ten.
In 2024 (AP rankings are current of this week): Michigan will play #7 Washington, #8 Oregon, #9 Texas, #10 USC, and of course #3 OSU. The one missing conference rival is Penn State who is not on Michigan's schedule next season. I knew Michigan was going to have a difficult path in this new league, as everyone wants made for TV match-ups with big names. The good news is Michigan has most of these games at home next season. Also keep an eye on when they release the dates of this game, I wonder if the Big Ten will be able to continue to keep the traditional Michigan - OSU game as the last regular season game of the year under this new format.
Deep thought: Could Michigan be breaking in a new QB and 2 new RB's with that schedule next season?
Now on to Indiana this week:
This game every year has always been weird. Many times, been tougher than it should have been. I don't have that same fear this year. IU fired its OC last week prior to their bye week.
Record: 2-3 Best Win: Akron - Losses: OSU, Louisville, and Maryland
Pass: 224 yards per (77th)
Run: 110 (115th)
Score: 20.8 points (114th)
Give up: 24.4 points (65th)
When you score less than you give up, there is a problem. IU did play OSU tough for the first game of the year but since then it's been a disappointment with only wins over Akron and Indiana State.

Why arent we seeing Alex Orji? I remember the hype surrounding him before the season started. Why not design some run pass option plays for him? Might be a good change up from J.J.
Also, don't we have RB depth? I worry about wearing Donovan and Blake out. Where's Cole Cabanna?
Donovan should come back next year...he should be the number option
Blue for life
Indiana played Louisville tougher than Notre Dame did
