The Indiana Hoosiers received the ball to start the game on Saturday and the Wolverines' defense came to play on the first drive. The Hoosiers got a quick first down but the Wolverines' defense held and forced Indiana to punt. A ton of that stemmed from the Michigan defensive line and Kenneth Grant. The front created penetration and Kenneth Grant batted down a third-down pass by Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke.

The PBU was Grant's eighth of his career and he broke a Michigan record by doing so. According to the Wolverines' X account, Grant now has the most passes broken up by any defensive lineman in program history.
