You can buy grass seed that is specifically for the winter. I live in Indiana as well and I just put my seed out this past weekend. I tilled the bare spots using a tiller first. Then spread the seed. You'll need to cover the seed with hay to keep birds and animals from eating it all.

You have to look at the grass your getting you can get a Winter Rye or you can get Bermuda grass. There are different grass seeds that grow best it different times of year. It also depends on were you live.

Bermuda and rye grasses need a cold snap to grow. Our county extension agent says that October is the LAST chance - in South Texas - to plant grass for the spring since it needs time to germinate to be able to come back in spring.

If you are in Southern Indiana, you will want drought tolerant. Perennial rye is good for sun and fine fescue for shade. I have better luck planting in the fall[ oct-nov] but any time will work with plenty of watering .avoid plantingJune thru August tho. keep seeds moist but not wet till 3-4 inches high and do not mow till at least 3 -4 inches high. tall fescue is clumpy and bluegrass is tempermental in the hot months. Contact your county extension agent for your best choices.

It depends of what kind of grass you are sowing. Is it a warm season or cool? Many native grasses can be easily sowed in fall for spring growth.

Try going to a nusery in your area. They will be able to tell you what grass grows best.
