Summary
In this episode, 247Sports' Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview the Michigan football team's road trip to Indiana, looking at some of the keys for the Wolverines on both sides of the ball, as well as some predictions for the game.
They begin by looking at Michigan's offense, and how it can make the most of Indiana's struggling defense. They discuss the Wolverines' chance to open up the deep-ball passing game, get some receivers who have been quiet lately more involved and a chance to diversify their run game and give Blake Corum a break.
In the second half of the episode, they look at Michigan's defense, and how it can end Saturday feeling even better about its chances against Penn State. They discuss Indiana's tempo offense and pass-first approach, the Wolverines' growing pass-rush, linebackers in coverage and more. They close with their final score predictions for the game.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast or audio source for all things. Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. I'm your host, Zach Shaw. Steve Lorenz is here with me. We're going to be previewing Michigan's second straight road game, this time at Indiana. tons of preview content over at the Michigan Insider.com, Michigan.247 Sports.com. Got my scouting report up, got the buy the numbers. I'll have my keys to the game up later today. |
| 0:24.2 | Lots of stuff from myself, Alejandro, Steve, Sam, and Bryce. |
| 0:28.3 | We are in full midseason form. |
| 0:31.2 | We are primed for the home stretch of the season. |
| 0:34.2 | But now this episode, we're going to take a look at keys to the game |
| 0:38.7 | for Michigan, not just to win, because I think Steve is on the same page as me that we expect |
| 0:44.6 | this to be a fairly comfortable victory for the Wolverines, but also keeping an eye on next week. |
| 0:51.8 | They have a top 10 matchup, presumably top 10 matchup against Penn State. |
| 0:56.6 | And as much as Michigan State is struggling, you know, that's still a rivalry game at the end |
| 1:01.2 | of the month as well. So keeping an eye on maybe what Michigan needs to do to come away from |
| 1:05.6 | this weekend in even better position to, you know, stay undefeated through October. But Steve, this Indiana |
| 1:12.0 | team, they are, you're kind of asking me, like, are they, are they bad? Are they bad, bad? |
| 1:16.6 | And I think they're pretty close to bad bad, they're three and two, but that includes a |
| 1:21.9 | controversial, you know, last minute-ish victory over Illinois, Illinois fumbled three times. There was some controversy |
| 1:30.3 | there that includes a win over Western Kentucky and overtime in which Indiana scored with 47 |
| 1:37.0 | seconds left and got the two-point conversion to tie it. And then the last two weeks, I think |
| 1:41.5 | the Hoosiers have started to look like what they'll probably |
| 1:45.0 | look like the rest of the season. They lost 4524 to Cincinnati on the road. They lost 3521 to Nebraska. |
| 1:54.0 | And I get Nebraska is a tough place to play, but Nebraska snapped a nine game losing streak to FBS teams |
| 2:00.3 | with a double-digit win over the Hoosiers. |
| 2:02.7 | So particularly on defense, I think Indiana is really struggling more than, more than I think |
| 2:09.4 | was fair to expect even. |
