Game Notes
Indiana vs. Michigan
November 14, 2015
• Jordan Howard carded his 17th career 100-yard game and his sixth of the season with 238 yards, the second-most ever by a Michigan opponent, on 35 carries (6.8 yards per carry). His 238 yards are his most this season and rank 10th on the all-time IU list.
• The junior running back became the 11th Hoosier (16th time) to reach 1,000 yards in a single season (1,199). Howard is 12th on the program's all-time single-season list with his 1,199 yards. He recorded his fifth 150-yard game of the season (12th of his career), which is tied for the fourth-most in a season for a Hoosier, and his second 200-yard game (3rd of his career).
• Coupled with Tevin Coleman's 2,036-yard season in 2014, Indiana has back-to-back 1,000-yard rushers for the first time since 2000 (Antwaan Randle El – 1,270) and 2001 (Levron Williams – 1,401). It is the first time running backs have reached consecutive 1,000-yard years since Vaughn Dunbar in 1990 (1,224) and 1991 (1,805).
• Howard's 238 yards are the most yards for a Hoosier against a Michigan team, while the 307 team rushing yards are also a new Indiana high against the Wolverines.
• Michigan had not allowed a 100-yard rusher since the final game of 2014 (Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott - 121). The Wolverines entered the game allowing 80.6 rushing yards per game and 2.6 yards per carry. As a team, Indiana rushed for 307 yards on 55 carries (5.6 yards per carry).
• Sophomore Devine Redding carried the ball 11 times for 48 yards (4.4 yards per carry).
• IU has had a 100-yard rusher 17 times since the start of the 2014 season. During that span, Indiana has rushed for 200-plus yards 16 times.
• Senior Nate Sudfeld completed 20-of-34 for 220 yards and one score.
• Sophomore Simmie Cobbs, Jr., led the Hoosiers with four receptions for 86 yards.
• The Wolverines entered the game allowing 11.9 points, 159.4 passing yards and 240.0 total yards per game. The Hoosiers finished with 41 points, 220 passing yards and 527 total yards – all season-highs against the U-M defense.
• Griffin Oakes set a career-high and matched a program single-game record (7th time) with four field goals from 39, 36, 51 and 24 yards. The redshirt sophomore is 16-of-18 on the season (88.9 percent) and 29-of-36 in his career (80.6 percent). Oakes 16 field goals share third on the school's single-season list and the 29 field goals rank eighth. He is now 2-of-4 from 50-plus yards in his career (1st attempt in 2015).
• Mitchell Paige returned his second punt for a touchdown this year with a 51-yarder in the third quarter. Paige is the first Hoosier with two punt return TDs in a season since 1990 when Rob Turner had a pair. The redshirt junior also returned a 91-yarder against Western Kentucky in game three.
• True freshman safety Jonathan Crawford collected his team-high third interception of the season, stalling a Michigan drive at the Indiana 14-yard line. Crawford added five tackles, which brings his total to 57 in 2015.
• Darius Latham recorded one sack and four tackles. The junior defensive lineman now has three sacks this season and 6.5 for his career.
• Sophomore linebacker Tegray Scales paced the Hoosiers with eight tackles, seven solo, in addition to one tackle for loss.
• The Hoosiers have recorded a takeaway in 15 of their last 16 games.
• Indiana outscored Michigan, 10-0, in the third quarter. IU has a 102-27 advantage in the quarter and has blanked seven opponents in 2015.
• Senior wide receiver Andre Booker tied a career-high with two receptions and set a career-high with 22 yards.
• IU's second scoring drive took 17 plays, matching its longest drive of the season. It also consumed 5:22, the team's second-longest drive.
• Indiana held the ball for 11:49 in the first quarter, which is the longest time of possession in any quarter this season.
• The Hoosiers have faced three top 15 teams for the sixth time in program history and the first time since 1979.
• Defensive end Nick Mangieri (fifth time in 2015), nose tackle Adarius Rayner (third time), bandit Zack Shaw (fourth time), left tackle Jason Spriggs (third time) and quarterback Nate Sudfeld (fourth time) served as Indiana's game captains.
• The Hoosiers wore the Block I and numerical helmets.
• Indiana received the ball first for the fourth time this season.
