The Michigan Wolverines are on the road this weekend when they take on the No. 8 Indiana Hoosiers. If that's a sentence that gives you whiplash, you are not alone. Michigan is sitting at 5-4 and scraping by enough to flirt with bowl eligibility while the Hoosiers continue their happy march to a potentially undefeated season.

Curt Cignetti has quickly flipped around Indiana's fortunes via the transfer portal and a relentlessness when it comes to putting its opponents away. Sherrone Moore's Wolverines have their work cut out for them in Saturday's game. Here's how Michigan matches up with Indiana on both sides of the ball in this matchup.
