Kurtis Rourke went 17-of-28 passing for 206 yards and two touchdowns to lead No. 8 Indiana to a 20-15 win over Michigan in Bloomington on Saturday.

Indiana (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) has now won 10 games in a season for the first time in school history and kept its hopes for a conference title and College Football Playoff berth alive.

Clinging to a 17-15 lead in the fourth quarter, Indiana took a 20-15 lead with 2:34 remaining on a 41-yard field goal by Nicolas Radicic.

On the ensuing possession, Michigan failed to convert a fourth-and-10 after a pass completion from Davis Warren to Peyton O'Leary fell just short of the marker. Indiana took over on the Michigan 42-yard line with 1:35 left and ran out the clock.

With 9:35 remaining, Michigan scored on a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line as running back Kalel Mullings dove into the end zone to cut Indiana's lead to 17-15. The 2-point conversion failed.

Indiana led 17-3 at halftime, but Michigan fought back in the third quarter, cutting the Indiana lead to 17-9 on field goals of 22 and 56 yards from Dominic Zvada.

Trailing 3-0, Indiana took a 7-3 lead with 1:17 remaining in the first quarter on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Rourke to Omar Cooper Jr.

The Hoosiers went up 14-3 on a 36-yard touchdown pass from Rourke to Elijah Sarrratt with 12:10 left in the second quarter, which ended a 7-play, 65-yard drive.

After recovering a Michigan fumble at the Michigan 48-yard line, Indiana took advantage of the field position, driving into field-goal range and taking a 17-3 lead on a 40-yard field goal by Radicic with 2:20 left until halftime.

Michigan opened the scoring with 5:01 remaining in the first quarter on a 39-yard field goal by Zvada. The kick finished off a 14-play, 66-yard drive.
