Mind Your Banners: Scouting Michigan

Oh so close. Nick Marsh's foot was out of bounds on a would-be go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes left. Instead the 22-game winning streak was snapped, and it was Curt Cignetti's first loss at Memorial Stadium as IU's coach. Zach Osterman and Mike Niziolek break down the Hoosiers' issues, and road ahead.
