ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Indiana beat Michigan 13-6 in overtime on Saturday at Michigan Stadium, scoring the game’s only touchdown on Josh Hoover’s four-yard run after the teams finished regulation tied 6-6.

The game went through regulation without a touchdown. Indiana led 3-0 after one quarter and 6-0 at halftime on two field goals, while Michigan got on the board in the third quarter and tied the game on a 26-yard field goal by Trey Butkowski as time expired in regulation.

Overtime: Hoover runs it in, Michigan stalls

Michigan won the toss and chose to go second, so Indiana had the ball first in overtime. Hoover hit tight end Brock Schott for 21 yards to the Michigan 4, then ran right and into the end zone on the next play for a 13-6 lead.

Michigan’s turn started with a four-yard loss by Savion Hiter, then quarterback Tommy Carr found Hogan Hansen for nine yards before an incompletion to JJ Buchanan. On fourth-and-5, Carr ran seven yards for a first down, but a pass to Hansen in the end zone was ruled out of bounds, Carr gained one yard on the next run, and Michigan could not convert fourth-and-9 from the Indiana 13.

Carr’s first start, and a day of missed kicks

Carr made his first career start a week after he replaced Bryce Underwood at halftime of Michigan’s 21-18 win over Penn State. He completed 20 of 32 passes for 167 yards with one interception, according to Eleven Warriors. Hoover completed 8 of 18 passes for 81 yards and threw his first interception of the season, but his overtime run settled the game.

Butkowski missed a pair of field goals in regulation, including one from 32 yards, before making the tying kick at the end of regulation. Michigan’s defense held Indiana out of the end zone in regulation, and Michigan never reached the end zone at all.
