ANN ARBOR, Mich. —The 17th-ranked Michigan Wolverines will host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for a Big Ten clash on Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor.
Rutgers (3-5, 1-4 Big Ten) must attempt to spring an upset without premier offensive target Leonte Carroo. He's officially sidelined, per Sam Hellman of Scout.
Michigan (6-2, 3-1) enters the conference matchup as a 24-point favorite, according to Odds Shark. The Wolverines expect starting quarterback Jake Rudock to play despite leaving last week's win over Minnesota because of a torso injury, Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press noted.
