Indiana, a seven-point favorite with TCU transfer Josh Hoover at quarterback, beat Michigan 13-6 in overtime on October 24, its first road win at Michigan since 1967. Before the game Michigan switched from Bryce Underwood to Tommy Carr, CJ Carr's brother, and reporting established that Michigan donors, including Larry Ellison's wife, were asked for money for the quarterback who is now the backup. Kirk Herbstreit had called the game the real test of whether Indiana's rise under Curt Cignetti is more than a cute story. The result settles the test; what the quarterback change and the donor ask mean for Michigan is still being argued.
