Michigan vs. Indiana: Five takeaways from the Michigan football victory

Excellent second half! #GoBlue

Michigan entered Memorial Stadium 5-0 on the year and the Wolverines looked to keep their winning ways against the Hoosiers.

But it looked to be a doozy.

The Wolverines got the ball to start the game and went right down the field after Blake Corum took a 50-yard run to the Indiana one-yard line. Corum took it in for a touchdown one play later. But that was the most Michigan could do on offense in the first half.

Running backs coach Mike Hart collapsed on the sideline and the medical cart transported him off the field. The Wolverines appeared shaken, rightfully so, and the offense appeared to be out of sync the rest of the half. The Michigan defense sacked Connor Bazelak three times in the first half, but the Michigan secondary played unusually poor and the Hoosiers dinked and dunked their way to first downs.

Michigan and Indiana went into the first half tied at 10 a piece.

But the second half was all Michigan. J.J. McCarthy threw his first interception of the season, but he also had his first 300-yard passing game as a Wolverine. Michigan dominated the Hoosiers offense. Connor Bazelak was sacked seven times in the game and Cornelius Johnson caught two touchdown passes.

Michigan defeated Indiana, 31-10.

Here are our five takeaways.
