The Michigan Wolverines moved to 9-2 on the season with a 39-14 win at Indiana on Saturday afternoon, avoiding a trap game scenario and continuing their ascent heading into a rivalry showdown next week with Ohio State.
Michigan players usually take 24 hours or so to soak in a victory, but they moved on quickly from this one, it seems. After the game, players seemed to be turning their attention to the aforementioned Buckeyes, who come to Ann Arbor for the regular season finale next Saturday.
Here were some of the best reactions from after the game:
Kirk Herbstreit sees a classic in the works for next week
Jim Harbaugh continues to have his team playing their best football at the right time. @UMichFootball up 39-14 near the end of the 3rd in Bloomington. Next week will be another epic chapter in AA.

Michigan is obliterating everything in its path right now
Total yards over the last five games:
— Daniel Dash (@danieldash428) November 24, 2019
Michigan: 2,105
Opponents: 1,237
Those opponents? Penn State, Notre Dame, Maryland, Michigan State and Indiana.
This will do
No Michigan QB has ever thrown for 4+ touchdowns in consecutive games.

Scott Bell closes us out tonight
Michigan beats Indiana, 39-14. It now heads back to Ann Arbor to host the morally-bankrupt-but-very-good-at-football Buckeyes of Ohio State.

As an unbiased observer, I have no dog in this fight. But if Ohio St wins, I'll be devastated and if Michigan wins I'll gloat for months.
Next up for the Wolverines is a rivalry tilt with the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes next weekend at the Big House. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET and it will be broadcast via FOX.
