Michigan has a big challenge this week in the Indiana Hoosiers. As the Wolverines are coming off a big 44-10 win over rival Michigan State, and with Ohio State coming up after Indiana, the Hoosiers are stuck in the middle which means they could be overlooked on the schedule. Indiana isn’t a pushover either, as they only lost to Penn State 34-27 last week and have been impressive all season long.
Indiana is 7-3 and has a chance to go to a solid bowl game this year if they can win one or two more games. Beating Michigan would be a huge boost for the Hoosiers as they could be looked like a more serious threat in the world of college football.
Before kickoff happens on Saturday, check out the five players you should pay attention too once the game starts.
1. WR Ronnie Bell – MICHIGAN
The biggest surprise of the 2019 season for the Michigan football team has been the emergence of wide receiver Ronnie Bell as the number one wide receiver on the team. Last week he had a career-best game, getting nine catches for 150 yards against Michigan State. Bell leads the team in catches and yards with 36 for 610 yards this season.
With more eyes getting locked on him by opposing defenses, Bell could be facing stricter coverage beginning this week and that could change up his production. Indiana could have some troubles containing the wide receiver, but with many other weapons on the Wolverines offense, they might have to deal with him in just single coverage.
