No. 6 Indiana Beats Michigan 13-6 in Overtime, Wins at Michigan Stadium for First Time Since 1967

No. 6 Indiana beat Michigan 13-6 in overtime on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when quarterback Josh Hoover ran 4 yards for the winning touchdown, giving the Hoosiers their first win at Michigan Stadium since 1967. Indiana, the defending national champion, improved to 7-1 (4-1 Big Ten), and the win kept it from its first two-game losing streak in three years under coach Curt Cignetti. Michigan fell to 4-3 (1-3) and never reached the end zone. Freshman Tommy Carr started at quarterback with Bryce Underwood sitting. He lost a fumble in the first quarter, threw an interception in the second half and was sacked four times; sacks in the second and third quarters led to missed field goals, one from 32 yards. Michigan kicked a 26-yard field goal as regulation expired. Hoover opened overtime with a 21-yard pass to Brock Schott before scoring. Michigan reached the Indiana 13, but Carr's pass fell incomplete in front of Salesi Moa. Carr finished 20 of 32 for 167 yards. Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham called the loss disappointing and cited the run game, red-zone touchdowns and turnovers.

Left-leaning CBS News and The Washington Post lead with Hoover's overtime touchdown and Indiana's win, and CBS adds a detailed account of Michigan's failures: Carr's statistics, each sack, the missed kicks, the final incompletion and his family ties to Notre Dame's CJ Carr. Right-leaning Fox News also covers the Carr turnovers and sacks, but opens with Indiana's fourth-down stop and Michigan's struggles in the three years since its title, calling the loss its third of the season. It also notes an Indiana missed field goal in a photo caption. The Washington Times headline matches the Post's, but its excerpt focuses on Hoover being banged up and nearly benched. Both sides agree on the score, the 1967 mark and Carr's play. They differ in emphasis: the left sticks to the game's sequence, while the right adds Michigan's recent history and Hoover's health. Newsweek differs by centering Whittingham's postgame criticism of the offense.
