Freshman Tommy Carr to make first start for Michigan against Indiana

Michigan will host No.

6 Indiana on Saturday in a college football game in Ann Arbor.

Freshman quarterback Tommy Carr will make his first career start for the Wolverines after replacing Bryce Underwood last week.

Carr helped Michigan score three touchdowns in the second half against Penn State, but threw for only 47 yards.

Indiana is coming off a home loss to Ohio State, its first defeat in nearly two years, according to one account of its record.

Indiana has a strong defense, while questions remain about whether its offense can play consistently.

The Hoosiers are 7.5-point favorites, but Michigan’s improved play with Carr has raised interest in whether the Wolverines can keep the game close.
