ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Tate Forcier's late touchdown pass Saturday helped No. 23 and unbeaten Michigan escape with a 36-33 Big Ten home field win over Indiana.

His 26-yard scoring pass to Martavious Odoms erased a 33-29 deficit with 2:29 remaining, capping a six-play, 52-yard drive shortly after an 85-yard touchdown jaunt by Indiana's Darius Willis.

Forcier completed 11-of-21 passes for 184 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

He added a 7-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run.

Carlos Brown rushed for 83 yards on 11 carries with one touchdown, while fellow running back Brandon Minor also scored once after 12 carries for 50 yards for the heavily-favored Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten).

Willis gained 152 yards on 16 carries for the Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1).

Indiana quarterback Ben Chappell went 21-for-38 for 270 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and Tandon Doss caught five passes for 104 yards.
