How many times has Indiana football beaten Michigan? Hoosiers’ history vs. Wolverines
IU football Curt Cignetti: ‘All eyes on Michigan’ not on CFP rankings
The Hoosiers are 9-0 after beating Michigan State 47-10 on the road and face Michigan at home this Saturday.
With the first College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday, the home stretch has truly begun for No. 10 Indiana football as the Hoosiers look to make their first-ever CFP appearance.
The stretch for Curt Cignetti’s squad, who were ranked eighth in the College Football Playoff on Tuesday, is a favorable one for the Hoosiers. Indiana will face two teams that have struggled quite a bit over the last month — one of which includes Michigan, a team that, historically, has had Indiana’s number.
This Saturday, Indiana and Michigan will meet for the 73rd time. Unlike in recent years, however, Indiana is the favorite to win Saturday’s contest.
Here’s what you need to know about Indiana’s history against Michigan, including how many times the Hoosiers have beaten the Wolverines throughout the years:
When was Indiana football’s last win vs Michigan?
Indiana’s last win against Michigan came on Nov. 7, 2020 — ironically, the last time the Hoosiers were ranked before this season. In that Week 3 showdown, the Hoosiers came out with a convincing 38-21 win over the Wolverines.
The Hoosiers never trailed in that 2020 contest against the Wolverines, as Indiana held a 14-7 lead after the first quarter at Memorial Stadium. Then-Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. completed 30 of his 50 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns, while Hoosiers running back Stevie Scott added two rushing touchdowns of. On the day, Indiana outnumbered Michigan virtually in every statistical category, including total yards of offense and first downs.
With the win, Indiana picked up just its first win over Michigan since 1987. Prior to that win, Indiana had been on a 24-game losing skid against Michigan.
How many times has Indiana football beaten Michigan?
According to Indiana football’s record book, Indiana has beaten Michigan 10 times in its previous 72 meetings, with the Wolverines holding a dominant advantage in the all-time series at 62-10.
Indiana’s first win over Michigan came on Oct. 13, 1928, in Ann Arbor, when the Hoosiers shut out the Wolverines 6-0. It was a win for Indiana that snapped a five-game losing streak, as Michigan won the first five meetings between both programs — a series that started in 1900.
The Hoosiers have only won back-to-back games against the Wolverines twice, the first coming between the 1944 and 1945 seasons and then again between the 1958 and 1959 seasons.
Here’s a breakdown of when Indiana has beaten Michigan:
- Oct. 13, 1928: Indiana 6, Michigan 0

- Sept. 30, 1944: Indiana 20, Michigan 0

INDIANAPOLIS — Officials with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles are warning Indiana residents of a new scam that is being sent to Hoosiers via text.
According to a news release from the Indiana BMV, the scam asks the user for overdue payments over text, including traffic violations or unpaid tolls. The text reportedly “strongly” mimics the BMV’s mobile website and improperly cites Indiana code.
Officials said the messages should be considered fraudulent. The BMV is urging people who receive the message to delete it immediately and not click on any links.
This is not the first time that the Indiana BMV has been the subject of scam texts. According to previous reports, a scam was sent out to some Indiana residents from the “Indiana Department of Vehicles” regarding outstanding traffic tickets in early June.
“We want to make it clear that these messages are not from the Indiana BMV,” the release said. “The BMV does not send SMS text messages about outstanding penalties. In fact, the fees outlined in the messages are not ones that the agency actually collects.”

Police have launched a search for two stolen endangered tortoises after the Indianapolis Zoo waited 11 days to report them missing.
An Egyptian tortoise and a Northern Spider tortoise, both of which are on the critically endangered species list, were taken from their enclosure in the zoo’s desert exhibit between 10 a.m. local time on October 11 and 10 a.m. on October 12, Indiana State Police say.
Captain Ron Galaviz with the Indiana State Police confirmed to Fox 59 that the tortoises were not reported missing until last Thursday.
On Monday, authorities asked for the public’s help in finding the two tortoises in a Facebook post.
Facebook users questioned how the theft could’ve happened.
“I’m curious how exactly you steal not one but TWO tortoises from a Zoo?” one user wrote.
To which another replied, “We recently went to the Indianapolis zoo and they’re not in a really closed encounter. They’re just smack in the middle with very accessible fence type thing you could reach in and pick it up.”
“How do you walk out of the zoo with 2 turtles? That must be a big rain coat,” a third user commented.
But Galaviz explained the tortoises stolen were rather small.
“The tortoises are not the large giant tortoises that you see people sitting on and riding around on,” he told Fox 59. “These are actually very small, probably fit in the palm of your hand.”
Galaviz said the tortoises can be anywhere by now.
“They could end up in a pet store. They could be in somebody’s personal aquarium somewhere that obviously we don’t know, [the] black market. I think the possibilities run the gamut,” he said.
The Independent has reached out to the zoo for comment and Indiana State Police for updates on the tortoises’ whereabouts.
According to the zoo’s website, the Egyptian tortoises are typically four inches long and weigh one pound, and are endangered due to habitat loss and pet trade. Northern Spider tortoises, which are five inches long and weigh one pound, suffer from habitat loss and poaching.
Jake Oakman, a spokesperson for the zoo, said in a statement shared by ABC News, it is “working closely with law enforcement to investigate the theft.”
“We continue to hope for their safe return and we appreciate the community’s support during this time,” Oakman said.
Indiana State Police asked anyone with information that could help them in the search for the tortoises to contact police.
