Watch video: How Michigan State football defeated Michigan in epic rivalry
Michigan football will have an opportunity to return from Saturday’s loss to Michigan State with a primetime showdown against Indiana next weekend.
The Wolverines (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) will host the Hoosiers (2-6, 0-5 Big Ten) at 19:30 on November 6 with the game televised on Fox. Last season, Indiana beat Michigan for the first time in more than 25 years.

This will be Michigan’s third night game of the season after victories over Washington at home and Nebraska away. The date with Washington served as a major recruiting weekend for Michigan, which rarely holds night fights, and it is possible that coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff will look to take advantage of it again by bringing prospects to campus for the Hoosiers game.
UM’s most recent primetime appearance was an exciting win over Nebraska, with the Wolverines trailing for the first time all season before coming together with an excellent fourth quarter.
