The No. 17 Michigan Wolverines were able to survive more offensive struggles and a late rally from the Indiana Hoosiers in a 27-20 overtime road victory on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.

It was an ugly game that saw Michigan commit 16 penalties for 141 yards lost, but the Wolverines did just enough to run their record to 5-1.

Michigan blew a 20-10 lead with less than four minutes left in regulation but earned the win in overtime thanks to running back Karan Higdon's 25-yard score on the first play.

Higdon entered Saturday with 201 yards and two touchdowns on 45 carries this season.
