Indiana Hoosiers are 13.5 point favorites against Michigan this weekend and should have no difficulty dismantling them. While Michigan may possess talent, Indiana should be able to run the ball effectively and score enough points with quarterback Kurtis Rourke having completed 73% of his passes for 2,204 yards and 19 touchdowns and running back Justice Ellison contributing 669 rushing yards with nine scores during 2018.
Hoosiers' defense has also been formidable, limiting opponents to 64.3 points per game and ranking among the best rushing defense teams nationwide; recently they held two opponents under 100 yards rushing.
IU Indianapolis leads the country in defensive efficiency rankings, ranking second overall and third for scoring defense. Their frontline is led by first round talent such as Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant, who together have only allowed an average of 3.7 yards per carry throughout this season.
Eastern Michigan is off to an inauspicious start this year, suffering two consecutive road losses against Texas State before overwhelming Siena Heights at home. Their offense has struggled, scoring just 65 points per game so far while outrebounding their opponents by an impressive 4.5 margin. On defense, however, Eastern Michigan's team has performed admirably, holding opponents under 60 points per game while outrebounding them by over 11.5 margin.
