First Time Since 1967: Indiana Beat Michigan 13-6 in Overtime for a Historic Win at the Big House

Indiana's Hoosiers have claimed a historic win in US college football. On Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor — known as the Big House — the defending national champion Indiana beat hosts Michigan Wolverines 13-6 in overtime. It was their first victory at this stadium since 1967.

The match was settled in last-moment drama. In overtime, Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover scored on a 4-yard touchdown run. Then, on Michigan's turn, the Hoosiers' defense made a clutch fourth-down stop to seal the win.

The victory also preserved another streak for Indiana. A defeat would have meant their first two-game losing streak in three years under coach Curt Cignetti — a danger now avoided.

For Michigan, the misery deepened. In the three seasons since winning the College Football Playoff national championship, there have been few reasons to celebrate in Ann Arbor. This was their third loss of the season, in a match where the Wolverines failed to reach the end zone when they needed it most.

Tommy Carr started at quarterback for Michigan, while Bryce Underwood sat out. The freshman had come off the bench last week to help Michigan defeat Penn State, but this match was a hard one for him.

Carr lost a fumble on an ill-advised pitch in the first quarter and was picked off in the second half. He took sacks in the second and third quarters that led to missed field goals — including a 32-yard kick after advancing to the Indiana 1-yard line.

In the final minute of regulation, Michigan reached the Hoosiers' 3-yard line. But Carr was sacked for a fourth time, leading to a 26-yard field goal as time expired, which sent the match into overtime.

Hoover struggled too, until a 21-yard pass to Brock Schott on the first snap of overtime set up his touchdown, which he then scored himself on the ground.

Carr finished with 167 passing yards, an interception and a fumble. His brother, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr, attended the game while his team had the weekend off.

Indiana kicker Paddy McAteer missed a field goal at the end of the first half — yet in the end it was the defense's superb performance that made the difference, holding Michigan to just 6 points all match.

Next, Indiana return home to face Minnesota, while Michigan will look to rebound against Rutgers. But this win at the Big House, 59 years in the making, will live long in Indiana fans' memory.
