34-10 IU
I could see a slow start, but after last week, UM should be terrified about our slow start last week and that CCC isn't going to allow that to happen consecutive weeks. UM secondary is banged up too. We could just as much make it 8 for 10 on 40+ point games.
UM's offense plays right into our D's strength. We get up a couple scores, they will HAVE to move to the pass game more and I expect our D to FEAST.

IU wins without any real threat and we get a big boost in national perception by beating a team that isn't as good as others we've already beaten.

Similar to last week, I just don't see Michigan's offense having enough firepower to score many points. But, also like last week, I have a feeling going in that they'll score more than expected.
On the flip side, they present a different challenge, physically, than any teams we've faced thus far. If we "need" to start running the ball, we might not be as effective doing it as we were against Washington. And they have some elite level players on defense that could effect the game with singular efforts. With Rourke back, and hopefully a week healthier, IU should be able to react to whatever Michigan presents though.
I think it ends up having a Maryland/NW/Washington type vibe. Competitive in to the 2nd half. IU's overall proficiency takes over late.
34-23 IU.

UM is probably fired up after everyone assumes they will get beat pretty easily. They have talent and play well and we have a close game.

Seeing IU as a 14 point favorite over Michigan is a strange, strange feeling. Not sure if I like it or not.
