Quarterback Cade McNamara and the Michigan offense built an early lead, but turnovers at key points hurt the Wolverines. McNamara alternated with J.J. McCarthy under center, and the quarterbacks combined to throw three interceptions. McCarthy also lost a fumble in the fourth quarter.
The Spartans are scheduled to face Purdue and Maryland before they travel to Columbus on Nov. 20 to face Ohio State in a huge Big Ten battle. The Wolverines will look to bounce back against Indiana next week.
