The 500th conference victory didn’t come without some drama. The Wolverines let a 20-10 fourth-quarter lead slip away, as Indiana tied the game at 20-20 as time expired to send it to overtime.
Karan Higdon then scored a touchdown on the first play of the extra session and Michigan’s defense came up with a goal line stand to clinch the victory in Bloomington.
