No. 2 Michigan starts slow and finishes strong in 52-7 win over Indiana to stay unbeaten

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- , No. 2 Michigan has taken full advantage of its soft schedule, routinely routing overmatched opponents week after week. Indiana was the latest to get lost in the Wolverines' wake. J.J. McCarthy threw a tiebreaking, 2-yard touchdown pass to Roman Wilson late in the first half and No. 2 Michigan pulled away to pummel Indiana 52-7 Saturday. The Wolverines (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) have beaten teams by an average of 33 points. They are the third team since 2000 to win each of the first seven games by 24-plus points, joining Ohio State’s 2019 team and Stanford’s squad in 2011. Michigan is allowing just 6.7 points per game, becoming the first FBS team to give up 10 or fewer points in its first seven games since Clemson in 1981. “When we get punched in the mouth, we’re going to respond,” coach Jim Harbaugh said.
