After a long, stressful slog against Wisconsin that resulted in a 14-7 win, hanging 78 on a hapless Rutgers team was really just a prolonged exhale for Michigan football.
Rutgers is Rutgers to begin with, but after injuries to Janarion Grant, Darius Hamilton, and Quanzell Lambert, this game didn’t really seem fair from the get-go.
Michigan football won by a score of “why are the starters still in” to “how is this team in the Big Ten?” while rushing for 481 yards and a school record 9 (!) touchdowns, allowing 39 (yes, 39) total yards and two first downs.
