Week 5 - Game Report

Indiana Hoosiers (3-0) at Michigan Wolverines (4-0)

Wolverines Hitting Their Stride With 35-9 Victory Over Indiana


Sophomore QB Tate Forcier Shows Off His Wheels With This 68 Yard Touchdown Scamper

Ann Arbor, MI (AP) - The Michigan Wolverines (4-0) headed down to Bloomington, IN to face the Indiana Hoosiers (3-0) in what would be the Big Ten opener featuring two undefeated teams so someone had to lose. Coming off a ridiculous 83-10 win against Bowling Green last week, the Wolverines are certainly a very confident bunch heading into this game.

Michigan won the coin toss and elected to receive as QB Tate Forcier & Co looked to continue last week's success. Starting from their 21, the Wolverines started off well with a 9 yard carry and picking up a first down, but then Indaiana's defense stepped it up forcing them to punt. The Hoosiers offense headed out onto the field from their 21 with their pistol offense as Michigan's defense followed suit holding Indiana to a 3 and out and punting. A decent return would give the Wolverines the ball at midfield as Forcier came out in the I-Form before faking to the halfback and throwing it deep to Sophomore WR Roy Roundtree who burned his man as he brought it down at the 5 and dragged the defender into the endzone for the 50 yard touchdown pass! 7-0 Michigan early on.

Don't count the Hoosiers out of it just yet though as on a 3rd and 10 from their 20, redshirt Senior QB Ben Chappell threw up a deep bomb that fellow redshirt Senior WR Terrance Turner pulled down on a 39 yard gain putting them right into Michigan territory at the 42. Another 3rd and 10 resulted in another deep pass, however this one was batted away as the Hoosiers kicking team trotted out for a really long 59 yard field goal. The redshirt Sophomore K Nick Freeland was accurate enough, however he was just short as last week's return sensation redshirt Freshman HB/RET Fitzgerald Toussaint was there to catch it and take it out of the endzone before being tackled, but not before he got the the Wolverines 39 yard line to give his offense excellent field position. After taking a 7 yard sack on 1st and 10, Tate Forcier came right back with a speed option to the right and only had 1 defender to beat to the endzone as he dove to the dirt grasping for Tate's legs the Sophomore QB outran him and ran 68 yards down the field for another Wolverines touchdown! How's that for excitement? Michigan up 14-0. As if that wasn't bad enough for Indiana, Chappelle threw a horrible screen pass on the very first play of their next drive that resulted in a patented pick six for the Wolverines by redshirt Sophomore CB J.T. Floyd! 21-0 Wolverines at the end of the 1st quarter. The Hoosiers defense wouldn't allow anymore points in the 2nd quarter although their offense still struggled to do anything, but managed to get a field goal with the score being 21-3 Wolverines at halftime.

Indiana received the ball and started from their 22 to start the 2nd half in hopes of getting something going to get back into this ballgame. That wouldn't happen though as a quick 3 and out gave the Wolverines offense the ball right back. Michigan's offense suffered the same fate however, giving Indiana another opportunity after the punt, but they would have to go 98 yards for a touchdown after a great punt by the true Freshman P Will Hagerup. Interestingly enough, they did just that in 3 plays as Chappelle read the blitz and threw it quickly to a streaking redshirt Senior WR Terrance Turner who broke one tackle and was gone for daylight on a record breaking 91 yard touchdown reception that gave the Hoosiers some life! Although the kicker missed the extra point making it 21-9 Michigan. The redshirt Sophomore HB Vincent Smith played the "Anything you can do I can do better" card as on the very first play of Michigan's following drive, he would take the handoff, cut right, then upfield and turned on the jets to run 76 yard untouched to paydirt holding his hand up the last 5 yards with a big smile on his face as Coach Kleinbauer was seen running down the sidelines with him! 28-9 Michigan.

The rest of the game Michigan ran the clock and scored one more touchdown for good measure while Indiana's offense continued to struggle against the Wolverines stout defense. The final score would be 35-9 Michigan as they continue to roll on to 5-0 while the Hoosiers fall to 3-1.
