Grading Michigan football's win at Rutgers: Rising offense let down by defense, kicking

Free Press sports writer Orion Sang grades Michigan football after the Wolverines' 48-42 win at Rutgers on Saturday night:

Offense: B

The Wolverines' first five possessions led to zero points. And then backup quarterback Cade McNamara took over — and led Michigan to a whirlwind comeback. McNamara completed 27-of-36 passes for 260 yards and four touchdowns. Not only did he spark the passing game, but the run game also gained steam in the second half. The Wolverines rode running back Hassan Haskins, who received the bulk of the carries among Michigan's four-back rotation and ran 22 times for 110 yards and one touchdown.
