Indiana hasn’t beaten Michigan in Ann Arbor for 20 straight games. The Wolverines will be looking to make that 21 on Saturday night when they play the Hoosiers in a prime-time matchup.

Michigan was able to slot into No. 7 in the playoff rankings, which came out on Tuesday evening. With the only loss coming to the maize and blue being Michigan State — who is ranked third — the Wolverines still control their own destiny. Michigan can still do big things if it wins out, a big if, but it must start with the Hoosiers this weekend.

Indiana is coming into the Big House with a 2-6 record — its only wins being Idaho and Western Kentucky — and the Hoosiers offense is in shambles. The Hoosiers are onto their third quarterback, freshman Donaven McCulley, after Michael Penix Jr. and Jack Tuttle have exited the lineup with injuries. Indiana has the 108th scoring offense since it averages 22 points per game.

This should be a good rebound game for Michigan and here are three keys to getting that important win.
