The Michigan Wolverines look to move on from the unsettling events after last week’s 29-7 victory over Michigan State. And they have an optimal opportunity to do just that against the Big Ten East’s perennial doormat, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Rutgers is coming off a 31-0 shellacking at the hands of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. And though this team is an improvement over the 2016 and 2019 versions that Michigan shut out, a similar outcome to last week’s could be in the cards tonight.
Fans might point to the dogfight Rutgers gave the Wolverines last season, but all the momentum and sense of destiny is with the Maize and Blue this time.
