FINAL SCORE: INDIANA 38, MICHIGAN 21.

4 p.m. ET — For the first time since 1987, Indiana has defeated Michigan. It's the first time Indiana has defeated Michigan by double digits since 1959.

3:28 p.m. ET — Devon Matthews comes up with a pick to seal the deal for Indiana. Hoosiers get the ball, up 38-21, with five minutes to go. 

3:13 p.m. ET — Off the Williams interception, Stevie Scott gets in the end zone for his second touchdown away. Indiana gets a big separation from Michigan in the fourth. — INDIANA 38, MICHIGAN 21. 

3:05 p.m. ET — Jaylin Williams comes up with a huge interception while Michigan was trying to cut into Indiana's lead. Hoosiers get the ball back leading 31-21. 

2:53 p.m. ET — Milton finds Ronnie Bell for a touchdown early in the fourth. Wolverines cut into Indiana's lead. — INDIANA 31, MICHIGAN 21.

2:47 p.m. ET — With Michigan on the move, the third quarter comes to an end. Indiana is 15 minutes away from its first victory over the Wolverines since 1987.  — END OF THIRD QUARTER: INDIANA 31, MICHIGAN 14. 

2:30 p.m. ET — There's the biggest difference in Indiana football these days. They go right back down the field and answer with a touchdown of their own. Stevie Scott bangs it in from the 1-yard line. The drive was 75 yards in seven plays and took up 4:22 on the clock. There's 4:39 to go in the third. Penix up to 323 yards passing now — INDIANA 31, MICHIGAN 14.

2:23 p.m. ET — Penalties are just killing Michigan today. They've jumped offsides several times and have had three pass interference penalties, two on third down when they should have gotten off the field. That's six penalties for 65 yards already.

2:15 p.m. ET – Michigan has its first complete drive of the game to make it more interesting. They covered 80 yards in just five plays, with Milton hooking up with Roman Wilson for a 13-yard score. The big play of the drive was as 52-yard catch-and-run from Ronnie Bell down the left sideline. Hold your breath. There's 9:01 to go in the third quarter.  — INDIANA 24, MICHIGAN 14. 

2:06 p.m. ET — Indiana gets a couple of first downs on its opening possession of the second half, but is forced to punt.

TWO MORE CENTS: Also not bragging here, but one of my keys to the game was that Indiana's defensive line had to bow up against the run. First-half result? Michigan ran the ball 13 times for a grand total of 15 yards. That's just 13.8 INCHES per carry! Great job by Indiana's defense. They're basically pitching a shutout outside of that one coverage failure on the TD. 

MY TWO CENTS: I caught a lot of heat from Michigan fans this morning when I said that Indiana had the better skill people at QB, WR and DB. There's NO DOUBT that's true in the first half. Penix 254 yards, Milton 96. Whop Philyor and Ty Fryfogle for 7 catches each and Indiana DBs shutting down the UM receivers. Not trying to brag, just pointing out that this Indiana team is really good.

1:44 p.m. ET — And that's the half. What a  tremendous performance by the 13th-ranked Hoosiers. Leading 24-7 and totally dominating the stat sheet. Indiana has 296 yards to Michigan's 111. Michael Penix has already passed for 254 yards. HALFTIME: INDIANA 24, MICHIGAN 7.

1:34 p.m. ET  — That might have been Indiana's most impressive drive of the season. Buried at the 4, they came out firing and marched 96 yards for a touchdown, with Peyton Henderson scoring on a 1-yard pass from Penix. That was Penix's third touchdown pass of the day, and the drive ate up more than 4 minutes, leaving just 56 seconds on the second-quarter clock. – INDIANA 24, MICHIGAN 7.

1:21 p.m. ET — And that's another three-and-out forced by the Indiana defense. They've been really good on third down today. Michigan is now 0-for-5 on third down. Michigan forced to punt, but Michigan's Brad Robbins nails a 66-yarder and buries Indiana at the 4. Need to be careful here. 

1:15 p.m. ET — Indiana had a nice drive aiding by a Michigan pass interference penalty, but the drive stalled at the 35. Still, Charles Campbell made it worth it, making a career-long 52-yard field goal. It's the sixth-longest kick in Indiana history. There's 6:53 to go in the second quarter. — INDIANA 17, MICHIGAN 7.

1:02 p.m. ET — Another stop on third down for the Indiana defense, forcing another punt. Indiana penalty on the return though, and the Hoosiers will start on their own 12-yard line. 

12:55 p.m. ET — Penix hits Whop Philyor on third down but he's tackled a yard short of the marker and Indiana punts. Holding penalty on Michigan on the punt, so they'll take over at the 17.

12:50 p.m. ET – A terrific first quarter for Indiana. Leading 14-7 with the ball. Throwing it a bunch, 17 passes to just five rushes, but they're moving the ball. They've got 148 yards already, with 136 of that coming through the air.  Here's the highlight of the Fryfogle TD catch, too.

12:43 p.m. ET — Penix throws a beautiful ball from 24 yards out right to Ty Fryfogle for a touchdown. PAT by Campbell is good and Indiana is back up front. Hendershot's teammates pick him up. Hoosiers go 75 yards in just seven plays. With 1:41 to go in the first, it's — INDIANA 14, MICHIGAN 7. 

12:40 p.m. ET — Penix had tight end Peyton Hendershot wide open on a deep ball down the left sideline and hit him right in the hands, but Hendershot dropped it. That's four drops in three games for him already. Stunning, considering he caught everything last year. 

12:35 p.m ET – Indiana defensive back Jamar Johnson just threw a punch and got ejected. Michigan strikes immediately and goes deep over the middle where Johnson would have been and scores on a 37-yard pass from Milton to Cornelius Johnson. That happened last week too against Rutgers, when Indiana gave up a big play right after a big penalty. That's a disturbing trend. – INDIANA 7, MICHIGAN 7.

12:33 p.m. ET — Here's the highlight on Marshall's touchdown catch that put the Hoosiers ahead. 

12:28 p.m. ET — Hoosiers go three-and out and are forced to punt. Great punt by 12th-year senior Haydon Whitehead, and Michigan takes over at the 22-yard line. 5:50 to go in the first. Indiana leads, 7-0

12:24 p.m. ET — And another three-and-out forced by the Indiana defense. Great punt, but Indiana will take over at its own 20. Great defensive effort so far by the Hoosiers. Six plays, and only 4 yards of total offense for Michigan. 

12:18 p.m. ET – And Indiana is on the board after an impressive first drive. Penix connects with Marshall on a 13-yard score into the left corner of the end zone. Charles Campbell makes the extra point and the Hoosiers lead 7-0 with 8:57 to go in the first. Penix was 7-for-9 passing for 60 yards and a touchdown. Drive took 11 plays and went 74 yards. —  INDIANA 7, MICHIGAN 0.

12:12 p.m. ET — Indiana's first possession started with five straight pass completions by quarterback Michael Penix Jr.  It's third-and-1 now after his first miss, a ball that was just a little too high for Miles Marshall, who's back after missing her Rutgers game. Time out for a Michigan injury. Stevie Scott gets the first down on a 5-yard run.

12:08 p.m. ET — Michigan's first possession went nowhere. A quick three-and-out with zero positive yardage plays. Run for nothing, a screen pass that loses 3 yards and a deep pass that's incomplete. Michigan fans who have been screaming about their offense must wonder why they wanted to be on offense first with that series.  

12:01 p.m. ET – Only one captain each for the coin toss looks so weird. It's center Harry Crider for Indiana. Michigan wins the toss and will receive. Indiana will kick off and defend the south end zone. Let's go!!!!

11:58 a.m. ET: The only people in the stands today are family members of players. They're all spread out, too. A few hundred total, and that's it. Darn you, COVID. 

Family members only in the stands today, 

11:50 a.m. ET — Because of COVID restrictions, it's bring your own food and drinks in the press box. Turkey and cheese sandwich and, as an homage to my favorite movie "Rounders," a big stack of Oreo cookies. Gotta have some fun, right?

BYO lunch in the Memorial Stadium press box. Going all in "Rounders'' style on Oreo cookies

11:40 a.m. ET — If you're the gambling type and are curious about the point spread, it's ticked up slightly since this morning, according to DraftKings. Michigan now a 4-point favorite. It was at 3.5 this morning, got as low as 3 earlier in the week. Most money going on Michigan so far today. The over/under is at 54.5. (Sharing for informational purposes only)

11:30 a.m ET — Several news outlets have just called the presidential race for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. Without being political in any way, that's great news that they've done it a half-hour before college football kickoffs. Now we can get back to focusing on football. 

11:20 a.m. ET – Indiana is out on the field stretching out, and they're wearing their tradtional red jerseys with white pants. It's a shame they couldn't wear the "Salute to Service'' camo uniforms that were supposed to wear before the Big Ten said no. 

Michigan is in all white with blue numbers, and those iconic helmets. Here's the picture and the story about why they got yanked at the last minute. CLICK HERE

11:10 a.m. ET — Indiana has announced their inactives for the game. A few surprises. Running back David Ellis still isn't ready to go, and the hope was that the Michigan native would be ready. Guard Mike Katic, who's seen plenty of action so far in Indiana's 2-0 start, is out as well. Dylan Powell will get the start now at left guard. Limits Indiana's depth a bit. Here's the full list:

• DB Marcelino Ball
• OL Kahlil Benson
• TE Sam Daugstrup
• RB/KR David Ellis
• TE Turon Ivy Jr.
• DL Shamar Jones
• OL Mike Katic
• DB Raheem Layne
• DB Samuel Slusher
• TE Khameron Taylor
• WR Cam Wilson

11 a.m. ET – You've heard all the numbers in this rivalry. Michigan has won 24 straight games, dating back to Oct. 10, 1987, a span of 12,062 days, But the Hoosiers have played them tough in Memorial Stadium lately. Last year was an outlier (Michigan won 39-14 and Shea Patterson threw five touchdown passes) but the two previous games went to overtime. 

10:50 a.m. ET – The weather is absolutely perfect for football today, and it's hard to believe that it's early November. It's sunny and 67 degrees right, and it's supposed to get up to 73 in a few hours. There's a a gentle breeze coming out of the south. It's a shame that sun isn't splashing on a sold-out crowd. Seems so weird seeing an empty stadium. 

10:40 a.m. ET — If you didn't see my prediction for the game, I'm taking the Hoosiers in an upset. I think they're better at the skill positions – quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback. I broke it down pretty thoroughly. Here's the story. CLICK HERE

10:30 a.m. ET — Welcome back to Memorial Stadium. It's so good to be back in the press box again. It's such a different look. Every seat is spread out by at least 6-feet or more, and we're surrounded by PlexiGlas in our work stations. Glad to do it, though. It's the new normal in 2020.
