Week 8 may not be jam-packed with banger after banger like the Week 7 college football slate, but upsets and season-changing outcomes can happen on any given weekend. There's certainly the possibility for some of that on Saturday. Fresh off its devastating loss to Ohio State, No. 6 Indiana must travel to Ann Arbor, where it will face one of the best defenses in the Big Ten.
Quarterback Josh Hoover seemed to injure his throwing shoulder against the Buckeyes, but he wasn't on the Wednesday night availability report. There's a lot of quarterback uncertainty on the other side with the Wolverines starting a freshman. Down in Austin, there will be a lot of anxiety as No. 7 Ole Miss faces No. 19 Texas.
The Longhorns need a win in the worst way, but they'll have to get one against one of the best quarterbacks in the country, Trinidad Chambliss. If Arch Manning struggles again this week, will Steve Sarkisian turn to KJ Lacey behind center? Elsewhere around the country, Auburn will try to spring a second consecutive upset with LSU coming to Jordan-Hare Stadium, and No. 15 Iowa will meet Minnesota in a battle for a 98-pound bronze pig.
With so much college football on at once, we've created a viewer's guide to help prioritize your Saturday schedule. No. 6 Indiana at Michigan -- 12 p.m. on Fox, Fubo (try for free): How does Indiana respond to a gut-wrenching loss to Ohio State? How does freshman quarterback Tommy Carr play in his first career start against the Hoosiers?
The Wolverines got a badly needed win over Penn State last week, but that doesn't mean their offensive woes are suddenly fixed. The issue for Indiana is that Josh Hoover hasn't been dialed in over the last two games, and now he has to go on the road to face a very good defense. This could be a low-scoring affair.
No. 18 LSU at Auburn -- 12 p.m. on ABC, Fubo (try for free): LSU has lost eight consecutive road games. Auburn is 1-9 in its last 10 home games against top-25 opponents. Something has to give on Saturday afternoon.
