Since Lloyd Carr’s retirement, the Michigan-Indiana game has been a series of frustration for both sides.
For the Wolverines, it’s almost always an annoyingly close contest perfectly pointing out their flaws. For the Hoosiers, it’s an annual exercise in hopes rising, only to be dashed late.
Granted, Michigan has taken 22 in a row. It’s just an uncomfortable 22 in a row.
The last decade has seen:
- 2009: Michigan’s defense confirmed as awful under Greg Robinson (487 total yards allowed). Tate Forcier leads a comeback to win 36-33.
- 2010: Some guy named Ben Chappell bombs another Robinson defense for 480 yards through the air.
