The struggles Moore has endured were thrown into sharp relief again as he failed to outwit the 63-year-old Curt Cignetti, a seasoned coach who, in his first year in Bloomington, has led the Hoosiers’ remarkable transformation from perennial Big Ten also-ran to College Football Playoff contender.

The effort Sherrone Moore's Michigan football team plays with is acceptable. The execution it plays with is not. Part of that needs to change by 2025.

Though the Hoosiers have almost always been a tough out and have taken good Michigan teams to the brink, this IU squad under Curt Cignetti is ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings compared to the 5-4 Wolverines who are unranked and struggling to find an identity.

Indiana football survived a late push from Michigan at Memorial Stadium to close out a 20-15 win on Saturday and stay undefeated. The No. 8 Hoosiers (10-0; 7-0) have double-digit wins for the first time in program history and they keep climbing the polls amidst their unprecedented winning streak.

No. 10 Indiana beat Michigan Saturday to keep its undefeated record intact. Here's where the Hoosiers might land in college football top 25 rankings:

Kurtis Rourke threw two first-half touchdown passes Saturday, and No. 8 Indiana’s defense held up long enough to give the Hoosiers a record-breaking 20-15 victory over Michigan.
