BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football climbed two spots to No. 4 in the US LBM Coaches Poll after ending a 22-game losing streak at Michigan Stadium with a 13-6 overtime win over the Wolverines.

While it wasn't pretty at times — IU starting quarterback Josh Hoover is at less than 100% — the Hoosiers (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) leaned on an impressive effort from their defense. They held Michigan out of the end zone and forced two turnovers.

Three teams in last week's top 10 (BYU, Texas Tech and Ole Miss) along with a pair of previously ranked Big Ten teams (Iowa and USC) lost and dropped in the latest coaches poll. Miami remained at No. 1 with a 52-23 win over Pittsburgh.
