Michigan football will have an opportunity to rebound 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 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 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 wins over Washington at home and Nebraska on the road. The date with Washington served as a major recruiting weekend for Michigan, which rarely hosts night games, and it’s possible coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff will look to capitalize on that again by bringing prospects to campus for the Hoosiers game.
U-M’s most recent primetime appearance was a thrilling win over Nebraska, in which the Wolverines trailed for the first time all season before rallying with an excellent fourth quarter.
