The Indiana Hoosiers received the ball to start the game 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 came from Michigan’s defensive line and Kenneth Grant. The front created penetration and Kenneth Grant batted down a third-down pass from Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke.

The PBU was Grant’s eighth of his career and broke a Michigan record in the process. According to the Wolverines’ X-count, Grant now has the most passes broken up by any defensive lineman in program history.

Michigan quickly moved down the field behind Davis Warren who completed five passes on the opening drive. But the Wolverines sputtered inside the Indiana red zone and Dominic Zvada scored a field goal to give the maize and blue a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter.
