Who is having more fun than Indiana this season? Not only are the Hoosiers 9-0 for the first time in school history, they have played as close to perfect as a college football team can.

At No.

8 in the College Football Playoff rankings, they boast the No.

2 scoring offense and No.

7 scoring defense and have gone 8-1 against the spread.

Dont expect that to change with unranked Michigan coming to town, even with Indiana as two-touchdown favorites.

Advertisement First-year coach Curt Cignetti has the keys to Bloomington right now, having turned a team projected to finish 17th in the Big Ten into one expected to take a swing at the conference title in December.

The nearest to trouble the Hoosiers have been was last week when they trailed for the first time this season against Michigan State .

Down 10-0, Indiana decided theyd had enough of new experiences.

By halftime it was 21-10 Hoosiers, by the end it was 47-10.

Quarterback Kurtis Rourke flipped the offensive switch, as he has all year.

The senior MAC transfer is tied for the Big Ten lead with 19 touchdown passes, neck and neck with Will Howard from Ohio State and Dillon Gabriel from Oregon.

He leads the conference in efficiency rating and yards gained per pass attempt and is second in the nation with just three interceptions.

On the other side of the ball, the Hoosiers allow the third-fewest total yards per game (261) and have the nations best run defense (72.6 yards per game).

Given rushing is all Michigan can do, it doesnt bode well for the Wolverines heading into Memorial Stadium.

But if 5-4 Michigan is resigned to a bad season, theyd happily settle for ruining someone elses good one.

Any win against a ranked conference team is as precious as gold in a down year, so the Wolverines have something to fight for.

They just dont have the firepower to ruin this party.
