Michigan (5-4) comes to play in Indiana Saturday as a shell of its championship winning self from last season.

For this game it's the Indiana Hoosiers being talked about as a potential playoff team.

They beat Michigan State last week to earn their first 9-0 start in school history.

Kurtis Rourke threw for 263 yards and four touchdowns, including two to Elijah Sarratt, and Amare Ferrell had two interceptions.

Rourke, who missed last week’s game against Washington following surgery on an injured right thumb, showed no ill effects and completed 19 of 29 passes.

The Hoosiers (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter before scoring 47 consecutive points to claim their ninth straight win by double digits. This is only the third season in Indiana history — dating back to the 1800s — in which the Hoosiers have won nine games.

“It’s awesome,” Rourke said about starting 9-0. “It’s just a great feeling. We’ve prepared for this moment since January, getting to know all the new guys, and really just start feeling everything out. We knew we had a special team, but it’s just great to see it play out the way it is. And hopefully, we keep rolling.”

Indiana comes into this game ranked No. 6 in the nation.

"Until Saturday, Indiana had not trailed in a game all season. With the 47-10 win at Michigan State, the 9-0 Hoosiers have won every game by double digits," Jake Trotter of ESPN writes. "Quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who ranks second nationally in QBR (91.6), is the biggest reason the Hoosiers have already tied a program record for wins in a season. Rourke missed last week's game against Washington following surgery to his injured right thumb, but showed no lingering issues against the Spartans.

"Rourke threw for 263 yards and tied a season high with four touchdown passes. The transfer from Ohio has now thrown 19 touchdowns with only three interceptions. With him leading the way, the Hoosiers remain in the thick of the Big Ten title race -- and on track to make the playoff. "

The line on this game was set at Hoosiers -14.
