Jake Rudock is steadily improving as the quarterback of the Michigan football team, but the Wolverines coaching staff deserves a healthy dose of recognition.
Last week, the senior piled up a career-best 337 yards on 18 completions, leading the offense on six touchdown drives against a hapless Rutgers defense. Most importantly, he avoided risky decisions as part of executing a simple game plan.
While Rudock deserves credit for locating targets and actually making the throws, it's pretty easy to connect with wide-open receivers—especially when they're five yards away.
Michigan utilized misdirection and screens throughout the contest, using the Scarlet Knights' aggressiveness against them.
