Michigan Wolverines

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The first quarter resembled nothing of what the final score was. The Wolverines appeared to have woken up late for the game and were sleepwalking their way in the first 15 minutes. Indiana was up 7-0 and outgained Michigan 141-17 yards. 

But the next three quarters were all Michigan. 

The Wolverines scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to go up 21-7 at halftime, and as the narrative has been all year, Michigan dominated the third quarter. The maize and blue held the Hoosiers scoreless and the Wolverines outscored Indiana 17-0. 

Behind the arm of J.J McCarthy -- who threw for 222 yards and three scores -- the Wolverines went en route to destroy the Hoosiers, 52-7, and move to 7-0 on the season.

Here are some of the best reactions to the game. 

This truly may be Michigan's best secondary under Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines are loaded everywhere on defense
