Josh Hoover's 4-yard touchdown run in overtime lifted No. 6 Indiana to a 13-6 win at Michigan, ending a 58-year wait for the first victory at the Big House since 1967. Despite being banged up, Hoover played through injuries, connecting on a 21-yard pass to Brock Schott before his game-sealing score. Indiana's defense held Michigan scoreless in overtime, with the Wolverines settling for a 26-yard field goal as time expired.
Curt Cignetti stuck with fifth-year quarterback Hoover over backup Grant Wilson, prioritizing Hoover's season despite his injuries. "It's been Josh's season and even though he's not 100%, we've got to finish it out with him," Cignetti said. Hoover finished 8-of-18 for 81 yards with an interception.
For Michigan, Tommy Carr started at quarterback but committed two turnovers—a first-quarter fumble and a second-half interception—contributing to a stalled offense. The Wolverines reached the Indiana 3-yard line in the final minute but had to settle for a 26-yard field goal after Carr was sacked for a fourth time. Carr, nephew of College Football Hall of Famers, was 20-of-32 for 167 yards.
