ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- It was time for Michigan quarterback Brandon Peters to play and for the Wolverines' offense to move forward. Peters replaced starter John O'Korn in the game against Rutgers, leading the offense on four scoring drives, and gave a glimpse of what Michigan is hoping can be the future of its offense.
It took seven games for Peters to see meaningful action, but he made the most of the opportunity and showed that he is ready to take the reins.
“You always look at it as a process ... for a couple weeks now we felt that he was ready and it’s time,” coach Jim Harbaugh said.
